This video, published by Erie Community College, provides instructions on graphing pressure curves using linear and semi-logarithmic scales in Microsoft Excel. During the video, Elena Brewer, professor at Erie Community College, guides learners through the process of creating a graph and inputting...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features an experiment that involves a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) undergoing the pump-down process with an empty chamber. The experiment lasts five minutes and includes a pressure gauge with the current atmospheric pressure, allowing learners...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features an experiment demonstrating the effects of placing a marshmallow in the vacuum chamber of a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) and reducing the pressure. The presenter provides step-by-step instructions for conducting the experiment and...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features an experiment that involves placing a marshmallow in the vacuum chamber of a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) then reducing the pressure. Elena Brewer, physics professor at Erie Community College, provides step-by-step instructions for...

This video, published by Erie Community College (ECC), focuses on an experiment that involves spraying shaving cream in a beaker and placing it in the the vacuum chamber of a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) and then reducing the pressure. Elena Brewer, physics professor at ECC, provides...

In this video, published by Erie Community Colege, learners are guided step-by-step through the processes of building a rough vacuum system. The presenter names each part and discusses its installation throughout the demonstration. The video corresponds with lessons in a student lab manual and...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) undergoing the pump-down process with a paper tissue simulating a dry contaminant. The experiment lasts five minutes and includes a pressure gauge with the current atmospheric pressure, allowing learners...

This video, published by Erie Community College, features an experiment that involves a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) undergoing the pump-down process with a wet paper tissue simulating a wet contaminant. The experiment lasts five minutes and includes a pressure gauge with the current...

In this video, published by Erie Community College, Professor Elena Brewer from Erie Community College provides an introduction to activity nine of the student lab manual, where learners measure pressure and pump-down time to examine the effects of leaks in rough vacuum systems. Learners will...

In this video, published by Erie Community College, physics professor Elena Brewer conducts the pump-down process on a Rough Vacuum System Trainer (RVET) with a real leak source present. Throughout the pump-down process, learners will document how long it takes for the atmospheric pressure in the...
