      In thermodynamic point of view:

      1.we generally see That most of secondary steel making process done in vacuum why Beacuse.,

      According to THE CLAUSIUS-CLAPEYRON EQUATION

      The transition temperature of metal (melting point) increase with pressure, and simillarly decrease with pressure So under vacuum, the melting point quit Low as compared to atmospheric pressure …

      So we require less heat supply to keep it as molten state..

      And also remove the dissolved gases in the molten steel  …

      Mistakes are acceptable.

        I think it has nothing to do with heat energy because steel is already in molten form.

          Of course, but it is one of the thermodynamic reason behind it More over we are just keeping it in molten state (by decreaseing pressure)

      By the vaccum these gases will be eliminated using siverts law.

      N->(1/2)N2 For degassing we use vacuum or low pressure as when we decrease pressure reaction proceeds in the direction with lesser number of moles i.e forward direction hence facilitating the degassing process.

      It's based on the sieverts law. It states that the solubility of a diatomic gas in metal is proportional to the square root of the partial pressure of the gas in thermodynamic equilibrium.

      It’s based on the sieverts law. It states that the solubility of a diatomic gas in metal is proportional to the square root of the partial pressure of the gas in thermodynamic equilibrium. So, vaccum is used to reduce the partial pressure of the dissolved gases so that the elimination of these gases will become easier.

      A Vacuum is used to reduce the concentrations of dissolved gases (H2, N2, O2) in the liquid steel; Homogenize the liquid steel composition and bath temperature; remove oxide inclusion materials from the liquid steel. As thermodynamic point of view, I think Vijay said a well.

      Vaccum degassing is mainly done to reduce the amount of gases (such as Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen) which mainly responsible for defects generation in steel after casting. And also vaccum degassing helps to reduce inclusions in steel.
