GRAHAM'S LAW AND AIRCRAFT

GRAHAM'S LAW AND AIRCRAFT SAFETY



Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of “Graham Law” in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on “Graham Law” and its relation with “air craft safety”. The research also analyzes many aspects of “Graham Law” and tries to gauge its effect on “air craft safety”.

GRAHAM'S LAW AND AIRCRAFT SAFETY

Introduction

This report discusses the application of graham's law of gases towards air safety.

Discussion

Airplanes are designed to operate in high-air altitudes, but the human body is not designed to function properly at high altitudes. We, humans, are comfortable living on the land, near the sea. Human body is made to accept travelling speeds of up-to 15 miles per hour, and anything speedier than this is bound to create problems for human body. Whenever a person goes higher than the altitude, at which he is living, he is bound to face breathing problems. No matter what we say, human body does respond to the change in the atmosphere, and will be affected by the gas pressure in the atmosphere. The mixture of the gases in the atmosphere will determine the affect of the change on human body. Pilots have top face this problem all the time, because they spend a lot of time dealing with the atmospheric pressure.

The law of gas in physics describes this change in the gases, which discuss the behaviour of gases. Understanding of these theories helps a pilot to take safety measures that can potentially help them from any accidents. (Sutton & Houston 1988)

Graham's law of Gases:

The famous Scottish chemist, “Thomas Graham”, formed this law. This law states that the rate at which a gas will escape from a place is related in a negative ...
