Computes the optimal nitrox mixture for a
given maximum depth.
Usage
maxmix(depth, ppO2max=1.4)
Arguments
depth
the maximum depth, in metres
ppO2max
maximum permitted partial pressure of oxygen
in atmospheres absolute
Value
The optimal nitrox mixture. An object of class "gas".
Warnings
Not applicable to altitude dives. Not applicable to
gas mixtures other than nitrox (oxygen-nitrogen mixtures).
Details
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.
