    The document computes reverberation times (RT) and optimal RT for a room with dimensions of 7m x 12m x 3m ceiling height and three total absorption conditions: a1) 22 sabins, a2) 76 sabins, and a3) 64 sabins.

    Assignment 2.2

    Computation (RT and Opt RT)

    Using the previous homework, compute for the Opt RT, RT, and discrepancy for the 3
    conditions given.

    Given: a room that has 7m x 12m with 3m ceiling height

    ○ Total room absorption (a₁)

    a₁ = 21.84 or 22 sabins at 1000 Hz

    ○ Total room absorption (a₂)

    a₂ = 76.44 or 76 sabins at 1000 Hz

    ○ Total room absorption ( a₃)

    a₃ = 64.05 or 64 sabins at 1000 Hz

    - Find the volume :

    V = 7 x 12 x 3

    V = 252 cu. m.

    1. Find the Optimum RT for a₁ :

    Opt RT = 0.3 log (V/10) = 0.3 log (252/10)

    = 0.3 log (25.2) = 0.3 (1.40)

    Opt RT = 0.42 seconds

    - Find the RT for a₁ :

    RT = (0.16 V)/A = (0.16 x 252)/21.84


    = 40.32/21.84

    RT = 1.85 seconds

    - Find the discrepancy for a₁ :

    δ = [100 x (Opt RT – RT)]/higher value between Opt RT and RT

    = [100x(0.42-1.85)]/1.85

    δ = -77.30%

    2. Find the Optimum RT for a₂ :

    Opt RT = 0.3 log (V/10) = 0.3 log (252/10)

    = 0.3 log (25.2) = 0.3 (1.40)

    Opt RT = 0.42 seconds

    - Find the RT for a₂ :

    RT = (0.16 V)/A = (0.16 x 252)/76.44

    = 40.32/76.44 = 0.53

    RT = 0.5 seconds

    - Find the discrepancy for a₂ :

    δ = [100 x (Opt RT – RT)]/higher value between Opt RT and RT

    = [100x(0.42-0.5)]/0.5

    δ = -16%

    3. Find the Optimum RT for a₃ :

    Opt RT = 0.3 log (V/10) = 0.3 log (252/10)

    = 0.3 log (25.2) = 0.3 (1.40)

    Opt RT = 0.42 seconds

    - Find the RT for a₃ :

    RT = (0.16 V)/A = (0.16 x 252)/64.05

    = 40.32/64.05 = 0.63
    RT = 0.6 seconds

    - Find the discrepancy for a₃ :

    δ = [100 x (Opt RT – RT)]/higher value between Opt RT and RT

    = [100x(0.42-0.6)]/0.6

    δ = -30%

    Summary of results:

    Total room absorption Opt RT Rt δ

    a₁ = 21.84 or 22 sabins at 1000 Hz 0.42 secs 1.85 secs -77.30%

    a₂ = 76.44 or 76 sabins at 1000 Hz 0.42 secs 0.5 secs -16%

    a₃ = 64.05 or 64 sabins at 1000 Hz 0.42 secs 0.6 secs - 30%
