Figure 4.7 Uncertainty analysis <strong>for</strong> MAW<br />

Assume that the oa <strong>and</strong> ra uncertainties are within a circle with radius r <strong>and</strong> there is no<br />

uncertainty in T , then the uncertainty <strong>for</strong> W propagated <strong>and</strong> amplified by the oa <strong>and</strong><br />

ma<br />

ra uncertainties will be,<br />

It is obvious that the uncertainties will be propagated <strong>and</strong> amplified when θ is less than<br />

o<br />

90 .<br />

So it is necessary to add a mixed air humidity sensor to fix the ma state <strong>and</strong> avoid<br />

uncertainty propagation <strong>and</strong> amplification.<br />

However, there is another way to get mixed air humidity by computing it from return air<br />

temperature <strong>and</strong> humidity, outdoor air temperature <strong>and</strong> humidity <strong>and</strong> ratio of return <strong>and</strong><br />

outdoor air mass flow rate f by following equation,<br />
