This solution can be simplified, depending on the way the tracer is
injected.
Tracer decay, no injection
A suitable quant ity of tracer gas is injected to achieve a measurable initial
concentration C
i;0
. At time t
0
, this injection is stopped and I ¼ 0 afterwards.
From Equation 1.4, it can be found that the concentration decays with time
according to:
C ¼ Cðt

is called the nominal time constant of the measured zone. It is the ratio of the
mass of air contained in the zone to the mass airflow rate. It is also the time
needed to introduce a mass of new air equal to that contained in the zone.
Since I ¼ 0, Equation 1.8 becomes:

This equation allows easy calculation of the airflow rate from the measurement
of conce ntration at two instants. This method is called the decay method. It is a
direct measurement of the nominal time constant, and also provides an
unbiased estimate of the mean airflow rate.
Constant injection rate
If the injection rate is constant, the solution of Equation 1.4 is:

Using identification technique (see Chapter 7 ‘Identification methods’), both

(hence also M) can be obtained. This method is, however, of easy use
only when Q

is constant. In this case, the exponential term becomes negligible
after three or more time constants, and
C ¼

The result is biased (underest imated) if the airflow rate is not constant.
