Define STPD, ATPD, BTPS and list the values.
I'm in college and our books haven't came in from the bookstore. I don't understand how the prof. is still making us do this HW. my younger brother told me I should try to get help from this site since it helped him.
This is all I could come up with from internet searches. I couldn't find any of the values unless I'm not searching correctly.
STPD= Standard temperature pressure dry
ATPD= ? Temperature Pressure ?
Is it ambient and dry? I couldn't find it.
BTPS= body temp pressure saturated

Judging by this website,

I would guess that you have correctly identified the abbreviations.
STPD, ATPD, and BTPS are abbreviations used in the field of respiratory physiology to describe specific conditions of temperature, pressure, and humidity.
1. STPD: STPD stands for Standard Temperature Pressure Dry. It refers to conditions where gas measurements are adjusted to a standard temperature (typically 0 degrees Celsius or 273.15 Kelvin), a standard atmospheric pressure (typically 1 atmosphere or 760 millimeters of mercury), and with no water vapor present (dry conditions).
2. ATPD: ATPD stands for Ambient Temperature Pressure Dry. This term is not commonly used in respiratory physiology. However, if your professor has mentioned it, it may refer to gas measurements adjusted to ambient (room) temperature, ambient atmospheric pressure, and dry conditions. The exact values for the ambient temperature and pressure may vary depending on the specific context.
3. BTPS: BTPS stands for Body Temperature Pressure Saturated. It refers to conditions where gas measurements are adjusted to body temperature (typically 37 degrees Celsius or 310.15 Kelvin), the prevailing atmospheric pressure, and with water vapor fully saturated (relative humidity of 100%). BTPS conditions are used when measuring respiratory parameters to account for the fact that the respiratory system operates at body temperature and typically handles humidified air.
Unfortunately, specific numerical values for ATPD are not universally defined and may vary depending on the specific context or study. I recommend reaching out to your professor or classmates for clarification on the values to be used for ATPD in your particular assignment.
In the future, if you need to search for such technical terms or values, it may be beneficial to use academic databases, research articles, or consult textbooks specifically related to respiratory physiology to ensure more accurate and reliable information.
