Hard Stuff Test 1 Flashcards
Henrys law
c = K x ρ where c = concentration of gas that is absorbed (e.g., milliliters per liter), ρ = partial pressure gas exerts, K = solubility factor (Henry’s constant) differs from gas to gas.
What effects solubility and how
Direct
- -altitude
- -water pressure
Indirect
–temperature
Oxygen hetrograde
Positive–> O2 super saturation Bellow meta
Negative–> Minimum amount of O2 ABOVE the meta
Reynolds Number (Re)
standard measure in fluid mechanics of the ratio of inertial
and viscous forces in a flow
Re = p U L / u
p–> density
U–> relative velocity
L–> linear dimension(cm)
u–>dynamic viscosity
Flow is laminar when Re is low
Whiting
Extinction coefficient
fraction (%) of light absorbed per meter of water.
learn the equation (heat)
Relative Thermal Resistance
function of the density difference between the top and bottom of a defined thickness of water
RTR = (D2 - D1) x 10^6 /8
Richardson’s number (Ri)
ratio of work done by stirring to overcome the stabilizing buoyancy force
buoyancy/ mixing
