Formulas for IDC

[MBTS]

Here's the formula bring back ancient (for me) memories of high school science

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

P=Pressure
V=Volume
n= amount of gas
R= ideal gas constant (or fudge factor)
T= temperature


Google ideal gas law, Charles's Law and Boyle's law for lots of background and examples if you want more of the theory and math than the PADI texts supply.

And for SCUBA - Boyle can stand for: Breathe Or Your Lungs Explode

That's a good one for Boyle's law. I tend to remember it by picturing a noisy rooster meeting its end after being filled with air and sent up from 40 meters.

Remember to know and do the conversions to absolute units in the gas formulas before using the formulas.

Hope it's ok to put my head above the parapet here and offer help if anybody needs it.

I'm not an instructor, only just started DM training.
However, I studied maths at university and have some experience teaching maths.

Happy to help on specific questions
