Definitions from the WebDiffusion PumpA diffusion pump is a type of vacuum pump that uses a high-speed vapor jet to create a vacuum in a system. It operates on the principle of molecular effusion, where gas molecules collide with a vapor stream and move through a series of chambers to create a low-pressure environment. Senses:Sense 1:Noun: A device used in vacuum systems to create a low-pressure environment by propelling gas molecules through a series of chambers. Sample Sentence: The diffusion pump efficiently created a vacuum in the laboratory experiment, allowing the scientists to study the behavior of gas molecules under specific conditions. Sense 2:Noun: The process of gas molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Sample Sentence: The diffusion pump is based on the principle of diffusion, where gas molecules naturally move from an area of high pressure to low pressure, allowing the creation of a vacuum. Sense 3:Verb: The act of spreading or scattering something in different directions. Sample Sentence: The aroma of freshly baked bread diffused throughout the house, making everyone hungry. | ||||
