However in reality, mixing turns out to be somewhere between these two extremities,<br />

i.e. the concentration of a fluid material may decrease following a certain combination<br />

of the two expressions above. A ratio of 1:1 was chosen for the ratio of displacement to<br />

perfect mixing for the mixing in the mask. Such combined mixing may be expressed as:<br />

<br />

P<br />

q Pdt VM<br />

Ct CO[0.5(1 ) 0.5 e ]<br />

V<br />

A graph based on Eq. (2.42) is shown in Figure 2.20 which means that if mixing can be<br />

expressed as so, then when another species of fluid flows in, the former fluid will be<br />

totally replaced after the inlet amount reaches about 1.3 times of the mask capacity.<br />

Mixing of exhaled air with fresh air in the mask may occur twice in a respiratory cycle,<br />

one starts at the beginning of inhalation and the other starts at the beginning of<br />

exhalation. When the exhalation phase begins, the concentration of fresh air already-in-<br />

mask decreases following the expression as:<br />

q dt<br />

While the concentration of exhaled air in the mask increases as:<br />
