Study Notes
The Atmosphere
- The atmosphere surrounds the Earth and extends up to 20 miles high, but due to gravity, air is denser at lower levels.
- The atmosphere is a mixture of gases, with 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and the remainder composed of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and inert gases.
- Oxygen is essential for both animal and plant life, and deprivation can cause permanent damage or death.
Cabin Environment
- The cabin environment is a critical system for aircraft operations, providing a comfortable environment for passengers and crew.
- The system regulates temperature, air pressure, and oxygen levels.
Oxygen System
- The oxygen system is used for normal operations, supplemental oxygen, and emergency oxygen in cases of smoke, fire, or loss of pressurization.
- The system is critical for aircraft safety and is used in various situations.
Types of Oxygen Systems
- Compressed Gas System: uses compressed gas contained in cylinders, which may be stabilized with a liquid or solid matrix.
- Portable Oxygen Concentrator: a device used to provide oxygen therapy to people requiring greater oxygen concentrations than ambient air.
Density of Air
- The density of air refers to the number of air molecules within a given volume of the atmosphere.
- As air pressure decreases, the density of air also decreases.
- As temperature increases, the density of air decreases.
Importance of Oxygen
- Oxygen is essential for both animal and plant life, and its absence can cause permanent damage or death.
- Oxygen is crucial for brain function and survival.
