I know I am over thinking this but it's bugging me... When giving patients fluid through an IV giving set, we set the flow rate by adjusting a rolling clamp on the tubing line. This is in effect creating a construction. Reading about flow, I am told over and over that flow is conserved. That...

Hi Chet, Thanks for your response. I think I get it - at SVP any further increase in pressure will cause liquification of some of the gaseous phase but the vapour remains saturated. This ambient pressure has no effect... Thanks again... I forgot how cool physics is - once you get it, it's...

I'm an anaesthetist... I have exams coming up... I use lots of gases and vapours and need to appreciate the associated physics. My question relates to saturated vapour pressure and ambient pressure... SVP increases with temperature - more molecules have sufficient energy to escape the...
