even less significant. This means that the wall temperature is not significantly<br />

influenced by reverse flow.<br />

Figure 6.7 Comparison of average airflow temperature in HADT between normal breathing and<br />

deep breathing under different tube heating when pressure setting is 4cmH2O, heating element is at<br />

55°C, ambient temperature and relative humidity at 22°C and 50%<br />

6.3.3 Influence of breathing induced flow fluctuation on condensation in HADT<br />

When normal breathing is introduced, the velocity fluctuation causes the airflow<br />

humidity, temperature and Reynolds number to fluctuate as shown in Figure 6.8, Figure<br />

6.9 and Figure 6.10 respectively. It can be seen that the transport of the fluctuating<br />

humidity is at a varying velocity.<br />
