PRELIM ASSIGNMENT 3 QUIZ 1

PROBLEM SOLVING IN REVERBERATION AND OPTIMUM RT

Answer & Solution:

1.1 Volume (V)
V = 9m x 5m x 3m = 135 cu. m.

1.2 Optimum Rate ( Opt RT)

Opt RT = 0.3 log (V/10)
Opt RT = 0.3 log (135/10) = 0.3 log (13.5) = 0.3 (1.13)
Opt RT = 0.34 seconds

2.1 Surface Area

𝑆𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑟 = 9 x 5 = 45 sq. m.
𝑆𝑤𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑡 = 9 x 3 = 27 sq. m.
𝑆𝑤𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 = (2(5 x 3) = 30 sq. m.
𝑆𝑤𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑟 = 9 x 3 = 27 sq.m.
𝑆𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 = 9 x 5 = 45 sq. m.

2.2 Total Room Absorption (A)

A = (45 x 0.03) + [(27 x 0.05) + (30 x 0.65) + (27 x 0.60)] + (45 x 0.95)
A = 13.5 + [ 1.35 + 19.5 + 16.2 ] + 42.75
A = 13.5 + 37.05 + 42. 75
A = 93.3 sabins

2.3 Reverberation Time

RT = (0.16 V) / A
RT = (0.16 x 135) / 93.3 = 21.6 / 92.
RT = 0. 23 seconds

3. Discrepancy
𝞭 = [100 x (Opt RT - RT)] / higher value between OPt RT and RT
𝞭 = [100 x (0.34 - 0.23)] / 0.34
𝞭 = [100 x 0.11] / 0.34
𝞭 = 11 / 0.34
𝞭 = 32.35 %
