Why is vacuum the best insulator?

In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.


How does a vacuum filter work?

The filter in a vacuum cleaner separates dust from air. Air is allowed to pass through whereas dust is trapped by the filter and caught in the bag/cylinder of the vacuum cleaner.


How does a vacuum use magnets?

A vacuum does not 'use' magnets. However magnets and a vacuum are used in conjunction in several applications. particle accelerators for example.


A something contains no particle so no sound can travel through?

Can light travel thought a vacuum why or why not?

Light can travel through a "vacuum" because the vacuum has a medium to transport light. Light can travel through a vacuum due to its dual nature; it can exhibit behaviours of either particles or waves, depending on the conditions under which it is observed, a situation called "particle/wave duality". A wave would need a medium to propagate (move) through, but a particle is like a tiny bullet, and can move independently (though still affected by) of the medium. In the case of a vacuum (by definition a space containing no matter), light behaves like a particle (called a photon), and moves through it in a straight line, unaffected. If, in that vacuum, it encounters something else, say a diffraction grating, its wave nature appears and it diffracts (spreads out), exactly as a wave would, but a particle would not.

What position does a multiport valve have to be on to vacuum a pool?

Should be set to Filter in normal circumstances, if particularly soiled, set to waste to save excessive dirt in filter.

Earth flows into your pool when you vacuum is the problem the filter or the vacuum?

Most likely the filter. i would check the fingers inside the filter for tears.

For what is an Eureka Filter used?

A Eureka filter is used for a Eureka vacuum cleaner. The Eureka vacuum cleaner has a specialized filter system that uses a filter like no others, hence its whisper-quietness and high cost.


Can you filter a toluene solution using a vacuum filter?

Yes, but it will depend on what do you want to filter. For example, in metallocenic polymer synthesis, at the end of the polymerization the polymer is precipitated from a toluene solution and then filtrated using a vacuum filter.

Can a radioactive particle filter be suspended in a plume of radioactive smoke or steam to vacuum and reduce radiation released into the environment during a meltdown?

Yes but it can't stop all radiation going in the atmosphere, it slow slows it down.
