What is continuous positive airway pressure?
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-- A ventilation device that blows a gentle stream of air into the nose during sleep to keep the airway open.
Does air flow create cooling?
Yes, as long as the air has a place to flow to. If you use evaporative (swamp) cooling you are creating a positive pressure inside a building, if that pressure has an outlet like windows slightly cracked, the cooler air moves farea of entry, to the area of exit.
What effect does cold air have on air pressure?
Cold air increases air pressure
How do you use air pressure and air mass in a sentence?
The air pressure and the air mass at the mountains was very high. It is an example sentence for air pressure and air mass.
What would happen to the air pressure when the air is sucked out?
The air pressure would reduce.
Why did the smoke move first in an upward direction and then a downward direction?
positive air pressure then hit a negative air pressure.
How does a plenum work?
A plenum chamber is a chamber that operates at a positive pressure and is filled with fluid or air. It is used to increase air flow in enclosed spaces. The positive pressure draws air from the space into channels, which causes air movement.
Frogs are positive pressure breathers What does this mean?
instead of sucking in air, they push air out.
What is a positive displacement air compressor?
An air compressor which is used to compress air in a cylinder, that is reducing the volume and increasing the pressure of air is known as positive displacement air compressor. It is used for the compression process in IC engines.

Why do operation theatre has positive pressure?
to make sure the air is clean from hepa filter to patient
How do amphibians use positive pressure to draw air into their lungs?
When the frog opens its mouth, Air flows in because it's in the nature of gases to flow from high pressure to low pressure ( Air to mouth ). When the air is inside the mouth of the frog, it closes its nose trills ( to avoid the escape if any air trapped ) and closes its mouth. When nose and mouth are closed, the air is trapped inside the mouth. Then, the frog raises its jaw which presses the air inside the mouth towards the lungs, because again, air under higher pressure (in mouth) goes to a place where there's lower pressure ( the lungs ). This is positive pressure inhalation. Then O2 is released from the air to the lungs, and CO2 is picked up. The frog then lowers its jaw, to lower the pressure in the mouth, to let the air travel from the lungs, to the mouth and into the outside, hope that helped!
What is the best room assignment for a person with tuberculosis?
a private room equipped w/positive air pressure.
What is the weather term of how heavy the air is?
Air Pressure
Is air pressure in OR greater than in corridors and other areas?
Yes. It's called "positive pressure" and it helps keep dust and other airborne contaminants out of the OR.
Dose a positive pressure drain need a trap?
A trap on a positive drain is used to avoid the 'contaminated' air in a HVAC system from traveling through the condensate line and entering into areas where it is unwanted. The trap becomes necessary when one condensate line is used for multiple units, especially if it is tied to other negative pressure drain traps. The negative pressure drain traps may not drain properly if they have to overcome the positive non- trapped pressure of another unit. It allows the condensate to drain more evenly, as well. Without a trap, the positive pressure from the unit can blow air through the drain with the water and cause 'spitting.' A trap on a positive pressure system may not always be necessary, but it is good practice to trap every drain and trap it properly. There are guidelines for both positive and negative pressure traps. Always follow the manufacturers recommendations.
