Q

Henry’s Law

A

Gases under pressure can change into a liquid state. When pressure is reduced, the liquid reverts to it’s gaseous state. Under low pressure conditions, oxygen will be less readily absorbed because the oxygen will turn into a liquid much more slowly.

Q

4 key components of monitoring

A
  1. Detection - the step identifying levels and operating conditions for the system
  2. Measurement - examines the ideal levels and conditions and compares this to the current situation to check for problems
  3. Interpretation - the process of examining measurements to determine if warnings or corrective actions are needed.
  4. Response - actions taken based on the other three steps of monitoring.

Subsystem Failure Rates

A

When a system is comprised of two or more subsystems, the tested failure rate of each subsystem needs to be taken into account when figuring the failure rate of the entire system.
