A systems approach to the monitoring of indoor air pollutants

Building design and building construction technology has improved in the past decade and the concern over indoor air pollutants and their health effects has increased. A multi-point, multi-pollutant air sampling and analysis network was insta

A fast-response heated element concentration detector for wind tunnel applications

Describes the operating characteristics of a small aspirated concentration sensor based on a hot-film anemometer. Constant aspiration velocity past the sensor produces a linear output over a wide range of tracer gas concentrations, and a useful bandwidth of 0-500 Hz. A simple experimental technique for dynamic calibration is presented, with frequency response inferred from a model of the effects of molecular diffusion and hot-film response.
