Abstract:

This code solves the free molecular diffusion model like Rai W. used in btwaterleak, however the surface outgassing is simplified so the user can use the familiar rate/unit surface area/second. The beamtube can be broken up into sections, with user defined leaks, pump arraignments, etc. The code solves the coupled differential equations for each section. Result is steady-state pressure distribution for the given set of pumping and outgas (and leak) conditions.

Can calculate conductance if you set one end of the tube as a source and the other as a sink.
