Abstract

This paper considers the age of air in a ventilated space with multiple supply inlets. The local mean age of air at a point from one supply inlet is different from those from the other supply inlets. It is the purpose of the present paper to investigate theoretically the relations between the LMA's from each supply and overall combined LMA whether or not to trace the origins of supply air. Transient concentration distributions are calculated with a step-up injection of tracer gas at each supply inlet, and at both inlets simultaneously. The steady state concentration with a continuous tracer injection at a supply inlet works as a weighting factor for the corresponding LMA in calculating the average overall LMA from multiple inlets.
