Life Support Systems Design by Marshall Nuckols; Ace Sarich; William Marr; David Robillard An interdisciplinary field of study, underwater life support systems design requires the application of engineering principles with a knowledge of human physiology. Specifically, the study of life support systems design should have a strong background in the following areas:* human physiology related to respiration and the thermo-regulatory system* underwater physics including the interrelationship of pressure and temperature to gas volumes, their properties, and their solution in other materials* the chemistry involved in the absorption of gas constituents including carbon dioxide and other toxic contaminants* decompression theory required to predict the safe exposures to elevated pressure environments* pressure vessel design including design methods for exposures to both external and internal pressures* heat transfer including conduction, convection, and radiation modes* fluid dynamics involved in hydrostatic pressures and pipe flow* psychrometry at elevated pressures required to maintain adequate moisture levels in cabin environments.
