[TRNSYS-users] contaminant modeling

[David BRADLEY]

Karol,
   I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong in this but I don't 
think that there is a significant decay rate in your case. I have used 
those decay rates only when there is something such as a chemical 
reaction. I have usually treated absorption of the contaminant as a sink 
(like plants absorbing the CO2)
Best,
  David
