I can tell you how it IS done, not how to do it. At high altitudes there's less air available for combustion because the atmospheric pressure is lower. To get the proper air/fuel ratio, they change the orifices the gas passes through to smaller ones, and they adjust the regulator to compensate for the smaller amount of gas being supplied to the flame. This is something a professional service technician needs to do for two reasons, both equally important. A four-burner range has five orifices, but they might use five different ones getting the size exactly right--meaning you need a set of every possible size, and that's really expensive. The other is you need experience in evaluating the flame to get it right. And the nice thing is, your gas company will do this for either free or a very low cost, because they know they'll get back the cost of the service call when you cook on the range.

How gas behavior affect backpackers at high altitudes?

At high altitude the pressure is lower and the concentration of oxygen also lower.


What are the advantages of a gas range over an electric one?

Many cooks prefer a gas range because the heat under the pan is much more quickly adjusted by turning the flame up or down. Electric elements respond very slowly compared with a gas burner. A precise heat level is also easier to adjust and maintain on a gas range.

How does air density in the thermosphere change?

As you go though the atmoshpere, the density of the air decreases. This means the gas molecules that make up the atmosphere are farther apart at high altitudes then they are at sea level. Noah Bazoo


How does a water droplet go from being in a collection to the sky?

Actually water evaporates , i.e , it becomes a gas and rises up. At high altitudes , the temperature is quite low , so it again condenses , and that's how it reaches the sky.


What different forms that water takes as altitude increases?

At higher altitudes it is colder. The cooler air can't hold the water in gas form so it condenses out as clouds.


High altitude low temperature why?

That's a trick question, since at VERY high altitudes the trend reverses momentarilly. It's dependant on what the sun can heat: at low altitudes, where the atmosphere is predominantly oxygen and nitrogen, the solid earth itself is the only heat absorber. Hence, the further you get from the warm soil of the earth, the colder you get. At very high altitudes (over 60,000 ft, I believe... higher than any mountain), larger gas molecules like Ozone, Sulfur Dioxide, etc. can absorb some heat. It's still way too cold to live there, though, so I wouldn't recommend it
