  2. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    It does not take temperature into consideration. Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 g (1.1 oz) per cubic metre when the air is saturated at 30 °C (86 °F). [8] [9] Air is a gas, and its volume varies with pressure and temperature, per Boyle's law. Absolute humidity is defined as water mass per volume of air ...

  3. Effects of high altitude on humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude...

    The other major effect of altitude is due to lower ambient temperature. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin determines the content of oxygen in blood. After the human body reaches around 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) above sea level, the saturation of oxyhemoglobin begins to decrease rapidly. [2]

  4. Oxygen saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation

    Dissolved oxygen levels required by various species in the Chesapeake Bay (US). In aquatic environments, oxygen saturation is a ratio of the concentration of "dissolved oxygen" (DO, O 2), to the maximum amount of oxygen that will dissolve in that water body, at the temperature and pressure which constitute stable equilibrium conditions.

  5. Water vapor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

    The average molar mass of air (approx. 78% nitrogen, N 2; 21% oxygen, O 2; 1% other gases) is 28.57 g/mol at standard temperature and pressure . Obeying Avogadro's Law and the ideal gas law, moist air will have a lower density than dry air. At max. saturation (i. e. rel. humidity = 100% at 0 °C) the density will go down to 28.51 g/mol.

  6. Heated humidified high-flow therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_humidified_high...

    Heated humidified high-flow therapy, often simply called high flow therapy, is a type of respiratory support that delivers a flow of medical gas to a patient of up to 60 liters per minute and 100% oxygen through a large bore or high flow nasal cannula. Primarily studied in neonates, it has also been found effective in some adults to treat ...

  7. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    The saturation vapor pressure of water at any given temperature is the vapor pressure when relative humidity is 100%. One formula is Tetens' equation from [15] used to find the saturation vapor pressure is: = ⁡ (()) where:

  8. Dew point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

    If all the other factors influencing humidity remain constant, at ground level the relative humidity rises as the temperature falls; this is because less vapor is needed to saturate the air. The dew point temperature equals the air temperature when the air is saturated with water; in all other cases the dew point will be less than the air ...

  9. Saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation

    Oxygen saturation, a clinical measure of the amount of oxygen in a patient's blood; Saturation pollination, a pollination technique; Saturated mutagenesis, a form of site-directed mutagenesis; Saturation (genetic), the observed number of mutations relative to the maximum amount possible; Ocean saturation, more than 2.3 billion years ago: see ...
