Design Experiences

If our objective is to examine non-Newtonian behavior, we must design experiments which permit the relationship between and dv/dy to be studied over as wide a range as possible. This topic is taken up in the next section.

The optimum modulus occurs at about a 2 1 weight ratio of OTOS to OBTS. Similar optimums have been observed with other accelerator combinations. The examples shown in Figure 4 are calculated from regression equations developed from designed experiments in a black-filled natural mbber compound. On a molar basis, the synergistic accelerator complex appears to consist of two dithiocarbamate ligands and one mercaptobenzothiazole moiety, as shown in stmcture (15) (14). 

An important purpose of a designed experiment is to obtain information about interactions among the primary variables. This is accompbshed by varying factors simultaneously rather than one at a time. Thus in Figure 2, each of the two preparations would be mn at both low and high temperatures using, for example, a full factorial experiment. 

In an appropriately designed experiment, it is possible to measure the pull-off force (Ps), contact radius (a versus P, ao and aj, and the separation profile outside the contact zone (D versus j ). From these measurements, it is possible to determine the thermodynamic work of adhesion between two surfaces, if the contacting bodies are perfectly elastic. 

This method for vertical thermosiphon reboilers is based on semi-empirical correlations of experimental data and is stated to predict heat transfer coefficients 30 percent, which is about the same range of accuracy for most boiling coefficient data. The advantage of this method is that it has had significant design experience in the industry to support it. It is also adaptable to other types of reboilers used in the industry. See Figures 10-110 and 10-111. 

Models can resolve apparent conflicts in observed data and can be used to optimally design experiments. 

As a result the research emphasis in this field focused on efforts to design experiments in which it might be possible to determine to which one of the foregoing three rate equations the observed second-order rate coefficient actually corresponded. More specifically, the objective was to observe one and the same system first under conditions in which complex decomposition (fcp) was rate-determining and then under conditions in which complex formation (kF) was ratedetermining. A system in which either formation or decomposition was subject to some form of catalysis was thus indicated. In displacements with primary and secondary amines the transformation of reactants to products necessarily involves the transfer of a proton at some stage of the reaction. Such reactions are potential-... 

One may be able to design experiments with concentration choices that reduce the system to the case of opposing first-order reactions. For Eq. (3-19), for example, this will be so if [B]o [A](j. A plot of In ([A]r - [A]f) versus time will be linear, with... 

These relationships are generally determined empirically, because of the complex kinetics of the precipitation polymerization process and the large variations from one reaction system to another. Nevertheless, a review of the literature presents useful guidelines for process design experiments.

If the effect of water stress is to alter regulation of the pathway such that the rate constant for reaction A G is increased or A CP is decreased (which would have an overall effect of conserving nitrogen), then the fractionation at G can be shown to be thereby increased. At present this is speculative, but in fact explanations for the water-stress effect using flow-models are rather constrained. For example, it is not possible to relate what might happen at the kidneys (e.g., resorption of urea) to the amino acid body pool, since the urea cycle is non-reversible. It should be possible to design experiments that test this suggestion. 

It is to be hoped that specifically designed experiments may, in the next few years, lead to an answer to this dilemma. Two experiments which are being contemplated are the following ... 

The use of statistically designed experiments in the development of both PS and RF foams has led to very significant progress, where critical problems were identified and solved quickly and where previously unexplored ranges of variables led to substantially improved materials. We shall continue to employ it in our development of low-density foams, and we strongly recommend it to other researchers. 

This work describes one approach for optimizing recovering systems using a simulation package in conjunction with standard statistical techniques such as designed experiments, multiple correlation analyses and optimization algorithms. The approach is illustrated with an actual industrial process. 

Since only 20 data records were collected from the system during the execution of the designed experiments conducted by Reece et al. (1989), we used their response surface models, deliberately contaminated with small Gaussian noise terms, to generate a total of 500 (x, z) pairs (assuming that the three variables, jCj, Xj, Xj, have independent and uniform...
