FYSS6320 Vacuum Techniques (5 cr)
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to describe basics of rarefied gas theory, transport phenomena in residual gas, gas flow regimes, surface phenomena. Students will be able to plan and build a simple vacuum system depending on the planned application as well as work with applications were vacuum systems are needed.
Study methods
Discussions and interactive events, laboratory work, written assignments, demonstrations, examination
