Problem 2.9

A chamber of volume \(V=87 \) \( \mathrm{l}\) is evacuated by a pump whose evacuation rate (see Note to the foregoing problem) equals \(C = 10 \) \( \mathrm{l} / \mathrm{s} .\) How soon will the pressure in the chamber decrease by \(\eta=1000\) times?

Reveal Answer
t=(V/C)lnη=1.0 mint=(V / C) \ln \eta=1.0 \mathrm{~min}
