Pressure Field Distribution in a Conical Tube with Transient and Outgassing Gas Sources

This work presents and describes in detail the pressure profile in a conical tube with the unavoidable steady-state outgassing, plus a transient gas source, like, for instance, in an accelerator, when particles from the beam hit the walls. Mathematical and physical formulations are given and detailed; specific conductance, specific throughput and a detailed discussion about the boundary conditions are presented. These concepts and approach are applied to usual realistic cases, such as conical tubes, with typical laboratory dimensions.
