maxmix: Optimal Nitrox Mixture For Given Depth
Description
Computes the optimal nitrox mixture for a
given maximum depth.
Usage
maxmix(depth, ppO2max=1.4)
Value
The optimal nitrox mixture. An object of class "gas"
.
Arguments
- depth
the maximum depth, in metres
- ppO2max
maximum permitted partial pressure of oxygen
in atmospheres absolute
Warnings
Not applicable to altitude dives. Not applicable to
gas mixtures other than nitrox (oxygen-nitrogen mixtures).
Details
Computes the maximum fraction of oxygen in a nitrox mixture
subject to the constraint that the partial pressure of oxygen
does not exceed ppO2max
atmospheres.
