[EnergyPlus_Support] AFN Node Pressure Distribution & Air Density



Hello,

1) I try to understand how the 'AirflowNetwork Node Total Pressure' is inernally calculated. I undertood the outdoor node Pressure is the sum of static and wind pressure (outdoor static =0 && if CP's = 0 than outdoor wind pressure =0 too). The Zone pressure is only dependent on the difference of static zone- and outdoor-pressure. But how to calc i didn't understand.
Therfore I have some questions... :)
1a) Where is the Zone_Node situated Floor/ceiling/center?
1b) Is there a link to the room-air-model (temperature at a specific height - if not mixed air)?
1c) could you please give the formuala for the zone 'AirflowNetwork Node Total Pressure'? Especially how is the zone static pressure calculated?

2) For the calculation of the air density i used following formula, which wasn't found in the eng.reference - but it gives slightly different results: 
ρ=(P_atm (1+W_air))/(461,518(T_air+273,15)(W_air+0,62198))     [kg/m3]
ρ = Air density [kg/m3]
Patm = Outdoor barometric pressure at ground level [Pa]
Wair = Air humidity ratio [kgWater/kgAir]
Tair = Air Temperature [°C]
Can you please specify the formula used in the code?

I hope you can give me further advice here.
Thank you in advance,
Tobias
