Trimix Gas
Description
Create a Trimix gas.
Usage
trimix(fO2, fHe, fN2)
Arguments
fO2, fHe, fN2 |
Fractions (between 0 and 1) of oxygen, helium and nitrogen, respectively, in the trimix gas. |
Details
An object of class "gas" represents a breathing gas.
Such objects are required for various calculations in the
scuba library.
The value returned by trimix represents Trimix
(oxygen-nitrogen-helium mixture) with the fractions of oxygen,
nitrogen and helium specified by the arguments fO2, fN2,
fHe respectively. These fractions should sum to 1.
If only two of the gas fractions are given, the missing fraction will be calculated so that the three values sum to 1.
There are methods for print and summary
for objects of class "gas".
Value
An object of class "gas" representing
Trimix with the specified composition.
