Denoting the ambient partial pressure of a gas, p, and its solubility, S, in a liquid, the relative concentration of the dissolved gas component, c, is given by Henry's law,
c = Sp
The corresponding tension, or dissolved gas partial pressure, is also p at equilibrium. By convention, partial pressures usually refer to the free gas phase, while tensions refer to the dissolved gas phase, though some folks use them interchangeably. When there exist differences, or gradients, between gas partial pressures and/or tensions across regions of varying concentration or solubility, gases will diffuse until partial pressures are equal, in short, move from regions of higher partial pressures to regions of lower partial pressures, regardless of the phases (free or dissolved) of the components. This movement is the crux of the decompression problem in divers and aviators, and modeling this movement is central to the formulation of decompression tables and dive computer algorithms.
what part of "passing from higher PRESSURE to lower PRESSURE " don't you not understand. It's obvious that "something " must be pressurised .Wienke even says tension and pressure are interchangable( when talking about diving)cornfed:If it's so elementry why don't you point us in the right direction, my dear Watson?
Here is a passage from and article by Wienke. On page 22, he writes,
Nova, would you please answer the question I posed in post #179? And before you make another cute comment without actually answering anything I'd like to point out that not only is Col. Mustard in passage I quoted, but he's holding the candlestick too.
What's passing from higher to lower pressure? If you can answer the question I posed in post #179 you will see my point.nova:what part of "passing from higher PRESSURE to lower PRESSURE " don't you not understand. It's obvious that "something " must be pressurised .
No. I won't answer any of your questions until you've answered mine. I feel I've been reasonable with you in public (twice since you restarted this thread) and in private. I've tried (in great detail) to explain my position yet you refuse to return the favor. I'm not going to discuss this with you anymore until you answer my question,nova:reread the whole Weinke quote you posted and tell me what pressure means to you.and tell me...
cornfed:"If volume and temperature are constant how does the pressure change?"
pressure causes compression ( for the farm animals that means things get smaller)which means VOLUME doesn't stay the same. As Weinke pointed out to you , high pressure moves to low pressure for equalibriumcornfed:What's passing from higher to lower pressure?

Still didn't answer his question.nova:pressure causes compression ( for the farm animals that means things get smaller)which means VOLUME doesn't stay the same. As Weinke pointed out to you , high pressure moves to low pressure for equalibrium

and you have not been reasonable, because a reasonable diver would understand that it's the rapid change of GAS PRESSURE that causes the bends with all inert gasses
And feel free not to discuss this anymore because you obviously don't understand the answer in short pressure-volume relationship is known as BOYLE'S LAW which means volume is inversely related to pressure or volume is not a constant
