vital capacity

Examples of vital capacity in the following topics:

• Lung Capacity and Volume

  • Lung volumes and capacities refer to phases of the respiratory cycle; lung volumes are directly measured while capacities are inferred.
  • The two most often used measurements are FVC (forced vital capacity) and FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second).
  • Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air that a person can exhale after inhaling as much air as possible.
  • The most widely used diagnostic application for lung capacities is the ratio between forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC).
  • Differentiate among tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and vital capacity of lungs

• Lung Volumes and Capacities

  • At maximal capacity, an average lung can hold almost six liters of air; however, lungs do not usually operate at maximal capacity.
  • In addition, the forced vital capacity (FVC), which is the total amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled, is measured.
  • The lung capacities are measurements of two or more volumes.
  • The vital capacity (VC) measures the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during a respiratory cycle.
  • The total lung capacity of the adult male is six liters.

• Specific Heat for an Ideal Gas at Constant Pressure and Volume

  • An ideal gas has different specific heat capacities under constant volume or constant pressure conditions.
  • The heat capacity at constant volume of nR = 1 J·K−1 of any gas, including an ideal gas is:
  • The heat capacity at constant pressure of 1 J·K−1 ideal gas is:
  • The heat capacity ratio or adiabatic index is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.
  • He is best known for his 1841 enunciation of one of the original statements of the conservation of energy (or what is now known as one of the first versions of the first law of thermodynamics): "Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. " In 1842, Mayer described the vital chemical process now referred to as oxidation as the primary source of energy for any living creature.

• Connectivism Defined

  • New information is continually being acquired and the ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital.
  • Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known.

• Adjusting Capacity

  • Capacity adjustment takes into account maximum production levels and the alteration of this level depending on how the firm wants to grow.
  • Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products.
  • In the context of capacity planning, "design capacity" is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given period.
  • Capacity utilization is a concept in economics and managerial accounting that refers to the extent to which an enterprise or a nation actually uses its installed productive capacity.
  • Adjusting capacity will affect the amount of items produced on the assembly line.

• One of three strategic functions

  • This means that it is a vital part of accomplishing the organization's strategy and ensuring its long-term survival.
  • For example, JetBlue locates ("location" is an operations decision area) its main transportation hub in New York City, a city of 19 million people that helps ensure that JetBlue's planes fly at full capacity.
  • The Airbus 330 has high passenger carrying capacity (to maximize revenue), provides good fuel economy and requires only two pilots (versus three) to operate.

• Operations Management

  • JetBlue locates ("location" is an operations decision area) its main transportation hub in New York City, a city of 19 million people that helps ensure that JetBlue's planes fly at full capacity.
  • In the area of equipment decisions, JetBlue operates only one type of aircraft, the Airbus 320, which has high passenger carrying capacity (to maximize revenue), provides good fuel economy and requires only two pilots (versus three) to operate.
  • This means that it is a vital part of accomplishing the organization's strategy and ensuring its long-term survival.
  • how much long-term capacity the organization will provide to meet customer demand.

• Commercialization

  • It is vital to involve key stakeholders early on, including customers.
  • This decision will be strongly influenced by the company's resources in terms of capital, managerial confidence and operational capacities.

• Channel Power, Control, and Leadership

  • In the channel mechanism, power refers to the capacity of a particular channel member to control or influence the behavior of another channel member.
  • First, if we look at the early years of marketing, the role of the wholesaler (to bring the producer and consumer together) was most vital.

• Capacity Planning

  • Capacity planning revolves around answering the question "How much?
  • When making capacity decisions, managers must answer the simple question, "How much?"
  • Long-term capacity decisions involve facilities and major equipment investments .
  • Capacity decisions are also required in short-term situations.
  • The question managers must answer for capacity decisions is simply "How much?"
