VACUUM
VACUUM
In a vacuum; in empty space; as, experiments in vacuo.
VACUUM
n.
A mass of fluid, especially of a liquid, having a whirling or circular motion tending to form a cavity or vacuum in the center of the circle, and to draw in towards the center bodies subject to its action; the form assumed by a fluid in such motion; a whirlpool; an eddy.
n.
One who holds the doctrine that the space between the bodies of the universe, or the molecules and atoms of matter., is a vacuum; -- opposed to plenist.
n.
Empty space; vacuity; vacuum.
n.
The act of throwing cold water into a condenser to produce a vacuum.
n.
A curve, in which a body, starting from a given point, and descending solely by the force of gravity, will reach another given point in a shorter time than it could by any other path. This curve of quickest descent, as it is sometimes called, is, in a vacuum, the same as the cycloid.
n.
A device, with valves, for raising water by steam, partly by atmospheric pressure, and partly by the direct action of the steam on the water, without the intervention of a piston; -- also called vacuum pump.
n.
A globule of air, or globular vacuum, in a transparent solid; as, bubbles in window glass, or in a lens.
n.
An empty space; a vacuum.
n.
A glass tube of peculiar construction, adapted for drawing blood from a scarified part by means of a vacuum.
pl.
of Vacuum
n.
A closed vessel for boiling or evaporating. See Vacuum pan, under Vacuum.
n.
The glass vessel in which the vacuum is produced, and the objects of experiment are put, in experiments with an air pump. Cf. Bell jar, and see Illust. of Air pump.
n.
The condition of rarefaction, or reduction of pressure below that of the atmosphere, in a vessel, as the condenser of a steam engine, which is nearly exhausted of air or steam, etc.; as, a vacuum of 26 inches of mercury, or 13 pounds per square inch.
n.
Space unfilled or unoccupied, or occupied with an invisible fluid only; emptiness; void; vacuum.
n.
A space entirely devoid of matter (called also, by way of distinction, absolute vacuum); hence, in a more general sense, a space, as the interior of a closed vessel, which has been exhausted to a high or the highest degree by an air pump or other artificial means; as, water boils at a reduced temperature in a vacuum.
pl.
of Vacuum
n.
That state in which every part of space is supposed to be full of matter; -- opposed to vacuum.
n.
The unit of weight in the metric system. It was intended to be exactly, and is very nearly, equivalent to the weight in a vacuum of one cubic centimeter of pure water at its maximum density. It is equal to 15.432 grains. See Grain, n., 4.
v. t.
To draw, as a liquid, by the action of the mouth and tongue, which tends to produce a vacuum, and causes the liquid to rush in by atmospheric pressure; to draw, or apply force to, by exhausting the air.
