Is this correct? If not, where am I going wrong?
I figure that the three cylinders will equalise at 77 Bar of which 60% is O2 i.e. 46.2 bar. I then top up with 155 Bar of air of which 20.9 % is O2 i.e. 32.39 bar so I have 232 bar of gas of which 32.39 bar plus 46.2 bar of which is O2, so that's 78.59 bar out of 232 bar or 33.88%.
Please note this is just me playing around with some hypothetical figures to see if I can figure it out - it isn't something I intend doing. |
