Models and statistical methods for gaseous emission testing of finite sources in well-mixed chambers

摘要: Abstract Two families of mathematical models are proposed to represent either the concentration a gaseous emission in or accumulated amount exiting from well-mixed, environmentally controlled test chamber. A thin film model, which seems applicable such sources as carpet adhesive, etc., has capability isolating true rate constant chamber effects. It successfully modeled emissions methyl ethyl ketone, C 8 alcohol, and butyl propionate latex caulk. Chamber effects form temporary wall retention were identified for latter two compounds. An analogous, deep source, diffusionlimited model plywood, once fitted data set, can be used generalize other combinations source surface area, volume, air exchange rate.
