Foundations of Molecular-Flow Networks for Vacuum System Analysis is the only book that covers desorption, adsorption and outgassing in relation to molecular-flow networks. It will be beneficial for academics, students and industry personnel working in the field of ultra-high vacuums for designing the equipment/set-up and as a guide to understand the processes relating to vacuums. The book is fully supported with equations and case studies from industry. Vacuum technology is extensively used in large synchrotrons and other large accelerators, as well as in many other smaller industrial and scientific facilities. Hence, this book is a welcome addition to the literature.

• Explains how to design, model and simulate vacuum systems to obtain satisfactory pressure distributions
• Offers a practical description of molecular flow, providing techniques to design molecular flow networks of vacuum systems and processes
• Explores equivalence with electrical components to help readers with simulation using free software such as LTSPICE
