How passover humidifiers work (or don't) 2


Posted by snowman on April 04, 2001 at 17:30:08:

I will be using the following book for reference,

ELEMENTS OF PHYSICS By Shortley and Williams / Fourth Edition C 1965 By Prentice-Hall Inc. Library of Congress catalog Card Number: 65-19190

This is an old book (like me), simple intro to physics college freshman book. One additional point is that this information has been around a very long time and there is no excuse for not knowing about it( thats the cpap manufacturer). You may be looking at this for the first time and like me the only reason to do so is that we need one of these things (humidifiers) if we use cpap.

To keep things more up to date and for convenience I will use an internet referance for the calculations. Note that most tables have gone bye bye as the calculators give you exactly what you want under the exact conditions you want without the need for interpolations...that tables require.

Parts O-Z
Weather & Meteorology
I will specify which one I am using when I do the examples.

More tomorrow.
