Concept:

Vacuum efficiency is given by:

\( \text{Vacuum Efficiency} = \frac{\text{Actual Vacuum}}{\text{Ideal Vacuum}} \times 100 \)

Given:

  • Barometer reading = 760 mm Hg
  • Vacuum recorded in condenser = 690 mm Hg
  • Saturation pressure at 35°C = 42.21 mm Hg

Calculation:

Ideal Vacuum = \( 760 - 42.21 = 717.79 \, \text{mm Hg} \)

Vacuum Efficiency = \( \frac{690}{717.79} \times 100 = 96.10\% \)
