Theory of Operation B-21
Note: All of the experiments were performed using air at Standard
Temperature & Pressure (STP) as the working gas. Since diffusion
losses are a function of the particle diffusion coefficient D which is a
function of the working gas properties, the use of different working
gases and/or conditions will result in an error in the calculated
diffusion loss. It is possible to input gas properties in the software to
increase the Diffusion Loss Correction accuracy, but other working
gases and conditions have not been experimentally verified.
