Traditionally, well-mixed model is a basic way to evaluate the contaminant concentration in an indoor environment. However, the well-mixed model assumes the contaminant concentration distributes uniformly in the indoor environment, which limits applications of the model. In this study, the shortcoming in application is overcome by employing the multi-cell mixing model. Generally, a multi-cell well-mixed model consists of several cells with each cell modeled by an individual simple well-mixed model. The contaminant concentration is assumed to distribute uniformly in each cell instead of in all indoor environment. Similar to a simple well-mixed model, multi-cell well mixed model is established on the conservation of air flow and contaminant with each cell having its own conservation relation. Based on this model, this paper studied the relationship between inter-cell air flow and the capability of the general ventilation to remove the indoor airborne contaminant. The most effective air flow for general displacement ventilation was found and established as a design objective for the general ventilation systems. The way to establish a multi-cell well-mixed model was introduced first. 3 Means to calculate contaminant concentration in each cell analytically and numerically was demonstrated by examples. Validity of the simple well-mixed model was also discussed. Furthermore, the air flow required for the most effective removal of air-borne contaminant was solved by optimization techniques. |
