The remaining oohimns of Table 1 represent the frequency distribution of required heat output. This distribution is based on the solution to the basic equation for two values of the free area ratio, Ar . This distribution represents the Tumia of the analysis and is also the hnma for Tables 3 4.
For specific conditions, or for cities other than those given in Table 1, the solutions to Equation 2 are given in Table 2.
