Table 3.
Calculation results, breathing by the nose or intubated, in mild or very cold air, at normal, low or high ambient pressure.
| Case | T0 (°C) | RH0 (-) | P (J/s) | W (l/day) | (-) | η (-) | Emax (μm/min) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I () | Mild air | 33 | 0.9 | 2.2 | 0.07 | 0.53 | 0.56 | 2.4 |
| II () | Intubated / Cold - normal patm | 27 | 0.4 | 6.3 | 0.21 | 0.55 | 0.58 | 8.1 |
| III () | Cold - low patm | 27 | 0.4 | 5.1 | 0.18 | 0.45 | 0.50 | 9.4 |
| IV () | Cold - high patm | 27 | 0.4 | 7.5 | 0.24 | 0.65 | 0.68 | 5.9 |
All the results are generated with Qinsp = 15 l min−1 and tw = 2, 000 s. Emax is the highest value of the time averaged evaporation rate, which is calculated in the fourth generation for all the calculations, except for the one at decreased pressure, where it is in the first generation that the maximal evaporation rate is calculated.
