TrimixBlending
Blend gases for precise trimix mixes
Costas Bakopanos
Description
Technical divers can create custom Trimix blends using partial pressure blending. Input gas composition and depth to calculate oxygen and helium percentages. Support for Nitrox top-ups and ideal gas law calculations.
This app allows technical divers to create custom Trimix blends (Helium, Oxygen, Nitrogen) using partial pressure blending (PPB), with support for Nitrox top-ups and ideal gas law calculations for precise gas mixing.
Two models of calculations:
1. Real Gas Calculations, uses equations of state (Van der Waals) for accurate blending. Accounts for molecular interactions and non-ideal behavior
2. Ideal Gas Calculations, uses simple ideal gas law (PV=nRT) and assumes no molecular interactions. Valid for low pressures and high temperatures
Gas Blending Options: Air Blending, Nitrox Blending and Trimix Blending, Continuous blending calculations for Ideal Gasses
Input Validation: Pressure range checking, Oxygen percentage limits, Gas compatibility checking
