Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Enclosed air volume = 500
- Ventilation airflow rate = 1
Expected Result:
- Gas dilution time = 500
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Gas dilution time = 500 s.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
gas dilution time = enclosed air volume / ventilation airflow rateGas dilution time.
