Table 5.

Comparison of estimated βs and the coefficient of variations for the two-zone experiments: (a) corresponds to different directions under the same working conditions; (b) corresponds to different working conditions but for a fixed direction (east)

Inline graphic: estimation for the interzonal airflow rate (m3 min−1); β Eqm: steady-state solution for β (m3 min−1); Inline graphic, Inline graphic: estimation of steady state at near and far field (mg m−3); CV(Inline graphic), CV(Inline graphic): estimation of CV for steady state CN and CF; Experimental Inline graphic, Inline graphic: steady state CN, CF for the experimental data (mg m−3).
