Oxygen cleaning is a necessary, but not always a sufficient condition for high partial pressure or high concentration oxygen service. The materials used must also be oxygen compatible at all expected service conditions. Aluminium and titanium components are specifically not suitable for oxygen service. [2]
Oxygen equivalent compares the relative amount of oxygen available for respiration at a variable pressure to that available at SATP.As external respiration depends on the exchange of gases due to partial pressures across a semipermeable membrane and normally occurs at SATP, an oxygen equivalent may aid in recognizing and managing variable oxygen availability during procedures such as ...
The alveolar oxygen partial pressure is lower than the atmospheric O 2 partial pressure for two reasons.. Firstly, as the air enters the lungs, it is humidified by the upper airway and thus the partial pressure of water vapour (47 mmHg) reduces the oxygen partial pressure to about 150 mmHg.
Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) is the measurement of the amount of oxygen gas that passes through a substance over a given period. It is mostly carried out on non-porous materials, where the mode of transport is diffusion, but there are a growing number of applications where the transmission rate also depends on flow through apertures of some description.
The limiting oxygen concentration (LOC), [1] also known as the minimum oxygen concentration (MOC), [2] is defined as the limiting concentration of oxygen below which combustion is not possible, independent of the concentration of fuel. It is expressed in units of volume percent of oxygen. The LOC varies with pressure and temperature.

is the partial pressure of oxygen in the pulmonary artery. P v O 2 {\displaystyle P_{v_{O_{2}}}} is the partial pressure of oxygen in the systemic veins (where it can actually be measured). Thus, the higher the diffusing capacity D L {\displaystyle D_{L}} , the more gas will be transferred into the lung per unit time for a given gradient in ...
Think of this creamy skillet casserole as a one-pan taco. The corn tortillas crisp up under the broiler, adding crunch to go with the creamy filling.
