Figure XII. 1 Dynamic mixing and in-mask characteristic velocity subsystem<br />

Outputs of the subsystem are listed below:<br />

output port number output Unit<br />

1 Specific humidity of airflow into the mask In decimal<br />

2 Temperature of airflow into the mask °C<br />

3 Absolute value of patient’s breath mass flow rate kg/s<br />

4 Characteristic flow velocity on mask inner surfaces m/s<br />

XII.2 Dynamic fluctuating mask air thermal balance subsystem<br />

This subsystem is for calculating the dynamically fluctuating air temperature in the<br />

mask and the average temperature of inhaled air. It is based on Eq. (3.93). The inputs<br />

are listed in table below.<br />

Input port number Input Unit<br />

1 Temperature of airflow into the mask °C<br />

2 Mask capacity m 3<br />

3 Absolute value of patient’s breath mass flow rate kg/s<br />
