Introduction
 WHY
• Anesthesiologist dealing with many of the gases which
are delivering through the anesthesia work station
• A sound knowledge about the application of gas laws
are essential for every anesthesiologist for safe use of
anesthesia practice
GAS LAWS
 Boyle’ law
 Charle’s law
 Gay lussac’ law
 AVAGAADRO’S HYPOTHESIS
 Dalton’s aw
 Universal gas law
 Hagen poiseulle’s law
 Graham’s law
 Reynold’s number
 Graham’s law of diffusion
 Bernoulli’s law
 Ventury’s effect
 Coanda effect
 Critical temperature
 Poynting effect
 Henry’s law
 Raoult’s law
Boyle’s law
 At constant temperature
 Volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to absolute
pressure
 V 1/P
 Or PV= Constant( temp is constant)
 Application
 To know the volume of oxygen in a cylinder available for use at15psig
(pressure at common gas outlet)
 Physics in spontaneous respiration
 P1V1 =P2V2
 V1 Is the volume of an E type cylinder 5L
 P1 is 2000 psig
 P2 is 15 psig
 V2 = 2000 X5/15
 =665L
 If we use 3L OF Oxygen last for about 220min
Charle’s law
 At constant pressure
 Volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature
 V T
 Or V/T is constant
Gay lussac’law
 At constant volume
 Pressure is directly proportional to temperature
 P T
 P/ T is constant
 Application :oxygen cylinder should be stored in a cool place
Avagadro’s hypothesis
 Equal volume of gases contain equal number of molecules at standard
temperature and pressure (STP)
 OR 1 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 L of volume
 Standard temperature is 273 K
 Standard pressure is 760mm of Hg
 Application ;to know how much of N2O is present in a E type of cylinder
for use
 At STP (273K temp and 760mmHG Pressure)
 44gm N2O give 22.4L
 Weight of N2O in cylinder equals weight of cylinder – tare weight of
cylinder =3.3 Kg
 3300gm N2O will give 3300 X 22.4/44 =1680L
 As per Charle’s law V T
 Aat room temperature T= 273 +20 = 293K
 V =1680 X 293/273 = 1803 L
Dalton’s law of partial pressure

Hagen poisuille law

Reynold’s number
 Is proportional to velocity, density and diameter
 Inversely proportional to viscosity
 Re = vρd/ Ƞ
 If Re is more than 2000 the flow is turbulent
 < 2000 flow is laminar
 Anesthesia equipments do nnot use connectors with sharp curves
PHYSICS IN ANESTHESIA.pptx
Graham’s law

Bernoulli’s principle
 Whengas flowing through a tube encounters a constriction ‘at that point
the pressure drops and velocity increases;
 i.e,kinetic energy increases and potential energy dicreases
 VENTURY’S EFFECT; Entrainment of air from surrounding due to fall in
pressure at the point of constriction
 Checking the integrity of inner tube of Bain’s circuit( pethick’s test)
PHYSICS IN ANESTHESIA.pptx
 Venturi masks uses for oxygen therapy
 Sander's jet injector
 Nebulisation chambees
 Modern vaporizers.
PHYSICS IN ANESTHESIA.pptx
Critical temperature
 Temperature above which gas can not be compressed to its liquid state
with any amount of pressure.
 Critical temperature of oxygen is -118 degree C
 For N2O is 37 degree C
 POYNTING effect
 When two gases of one with higher critical temp. and another of low
critical temp. Are mixedin a container,critical temperature of of gas with
higher critical temp, will decrease to a lower level ( pseudo critical temp.)
 In cold climate Entonox should thoroughly shaken before use
 Because when O2 and N2O are in mixture
 Principle adopted in construction of pressure regulator
 Force = pressure X area
 High pressured gases from cylinders exposed to larger area of diaphragm
of the regulator output pressure decreases from pressure regulators at
constant force
