Computes the optimal nitrox mixture for a given maximum depth.
maxmix(depth, ppO2max=1.4)
depth |
the maximum depth, in metres |
ppO2max |
maximum permitted partial pressure of oxygen in atmospheres absolute |
Computes the maximum fraction of oxygen in a nitrox mixture
subject to the constraint that the partial pressure of oxygen
does not exceed ppO2max atmospheres.
The optimal nitrox mixture. An object of class "gas".
Not applicable to altitude dives. Not applicable to gas mixtures other than nitrox (oxygen-nitrogen mixtures).
