If an opening were made in the bottom,the room would appear to be under a vacuum for the heavierair would at once flow through the opening into the room. densiiy d femperature tT. We have designated the pressure exerted against the insidewalls as Pi, and in a similar manner we will designate thepressure against the outer surface of the walls as Pe, then theequation to obtain the difference in weight or pressure by thedensity is: Pe = h (d — dj), or to obtain it from the temperature it will be: .0864 X 460\ /.0864X460 Pe = h /.0864 X 460 \ / .0864 X 460\V 460 + t ) V 460 + ti / 460 +1 7 V 460 + The conditions illustrated in these two extreme examples showclearly the fact that different pressures above or below the out-side pressures must exist in a room or building when the con-tents are heated to a temperature above that of the external air. In a similar manner if a room or building is cooled in thesummer months the reverse of these conditions will obtain. Additional openings into rooms will produce different condi-tions, also a change in the location of the openings
