Cavity Frame Percentages
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the cavity and frame area percentages contributing to the real effective RSI using the formula:
$$RSI_{r.e.} = (RSI_{cavity} \times A_{cavity}) + (RSI_{frame} \times A_{frame})$$
where $A_{cavity}$ and $A_{frame}$ are the area fractions (percentages as decimals) of cavity and frame respectively, and they satisfy:
$$A_{cavity} + A_{frame} = 1$$
2. **Given data:**
- $RSI_{r.e.} = 7.97$ (total effective RSI through cavity)
- $RSI_{cavity} = 7.97$ (from cavity assembly)
- $RSI_{frame} = 2.25$ (from frame assembly)
3. **Set up the equation:**
$$7.97 = 7.97 \times A_{cavity} + 2.25 \times A_{frame}$$
and
$$A_{cavity} + A_{frame} = 1$$
4. **Express $A_{frame}$ in terms of $A_{cavity}$:**
$$A_{frame} = 1 - A_{cavity}$$
5. **Substitute into the RSI equation:**
$$7.97 = 7.97 A_{cavity} + 2.25 (1 - A_{cavity})$$
6. **Simplify:**
$$7.97 = 7.97 A_{cavity} + 2.25 - 2.25 A_{cavity}$$
$$7.97 - 2.25 = (7.97 - 2.25) A_{cavity}$$
$$5.72 = 5.72 A_{cavity}$$
7. **Solve for $A_{cavity}$:**
$$A_{cavity} = \frac{5.72}{5.72} = 1$$
8. **Find $A_{frame}$:**
$$A_{frame} = 1 - 1 = 0$$
**Interpretation:** The calculation shows the entire area is cavity (100%) and frame area is 0%, meaning the effective RSI is dominated by the cavity assembly.
**Final answer:**
- Cavity percentage = 100%
- Frame percentage = 0%
