Abstract

Background: Xenon (Xe) is an anesthetic gas which may have potential as a neuroprotectant. To measure each gas in a xenon/oxygen mixture one would typically use a thermal conductivity meter and a fuel cell respectively. The speed of sound in a binary gas mixture like this is related to fractional co...
