Since the mean free path is inversely proportional to pressure, a turbopump will pump when the exhaust pressure is less than about convert where the mean free path is about 0.7 mm. Source: Internet

The purpose of a turbopump is to produce a high-pressure fluid for feeding a combustion chamber or other use. Source: Internet

The transition from vacuum to nitrogen and from a running to a still turbopump has to be synchronized precisely to avoid mechanical stress to the pump and overpressure at the exhaust. Source: Internet
