CALCULATION OF LEAKAGE AIR DUE TO ROOM PRESSURIZATION.

Q=Cd * A * (2 ∆P/d) ^0.5 or

∆P=(d/2) * (Q/(Cd * A)) ^2

where ∆P=pressure difference across opening = 30 Pa

and Q=airflow rate, m3/s

and Cd=discharge coefficient for opening, dimensionless (0.6)

and A=cross-sectional area of opening, m2

and d = density of air, kg/m3 (about1.2 kg/m3)

Q =0.6 *0.007* (2 *30 /1.4) ^0.5 =0.027 10^-3m3/s

=27 L/S , 10% SAFETY

=30L/S
