Calculation method

Calculation method

Deviation by outlet (%) JSON

Compare each measured airflow with its specified target; report signed percentage deviations.

Total airflow deviation (%)

Compare each measured airflow with its specified target; report signed percentage deviations.

Largest absolute outlet deviation (%)

Compare each measured airflow with its specified target; report signed percentage deviations.

Symbols and units
a
Target airflows (litres/s)
b
Measured airflows (litres/s)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Compare each measured airflow with its specified target; report signed percentage deviations. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
