Design of experiment

Different heated wire carriers have been designed. Among them, types based on printed board material (glass fibre/epoxy with 35 pm copper plate) proved to be the most versatile. A well tried and tested design is depicted in Fig. 6.2. Copper patterns 

The laminating process can be successful with printed board material support only if the surface, especially the contact between conductor and heated wire, is flat 

Like in any other branch of electrochemistiy, surface treatment of the electrodes is highly important. CommOTi surface treatment techniques generally start with mechanic polishing by diamond or alumina suspensions, etc. Of course, such abrasive techniques are not applicable to 25 pm metallic wires and useful alternatives had to be found. 

Two standard treatment procedures have been developed. Both are applicable to the completely mounted wires on glass fibre/epoxy support or the like  

Platinum wires are soaked in 0.5 M sulphuric acid for 1 min, then washed with water, dried cautiously by filter paper, and finally aimealed at open air where the temperature is risen to 500 °C by electric heating for 2 min. 

One approach to avoid these pitfalls is to use statistical experimental design. 

Design of experiments, also called experimental design, is a plan to study the various variables and their effect on the desired result, often yield or purity. If planned and interpreted correctly, interactions and hidden variables can be uncovered. An experimental design should include all relevant variables and there should be enough experiments performed to determine important effects and eliminate trivial variables. 

It is important that the experiments be run in a random order. The eight experiments can be used to see the effect of either variable. We have saved ourselves eight experiments by having these experiments perform double duty. If agitation and temperature interact with each other we would not see the effect if we studied each variable independently, but we would see the effect with 

Often there are many more than three important variables. Even with only five variables, we are at 1 = 32 experiments for a full factorial design. We would prefer to also have a center point and one or two replicates, so now we are at 35. Dependent upon the difficulty in performing each experiment, this can be a large undertaking. One option is to undertake a fractional factorial

Recognizing this is essential in the design of experiments and analysis of the results. The rapid pace of improvements and iimovation in electronic devices and computers have provided die experimenter with electronic solutions to experimental problems diat in the past could only be solved with custom hardware.

By proper design of experiments, guided by a statistical approach, the effects of experimental variables may be found more efficiently than by the traditional approach of holding all variables constant but one and systematically investigating each variable in turn. Trends in data may be sought to track down nonrandom sources of error.

Many, but not all, reactor configurations are discussed. Process design, catalyst manufacture, thermodynamics, design of experiments (qv), and process economics, as well as separations, the technologies of which often are appHcable to reactor technology, are discussed elsewhere in the Eniyclopedia (see Catalysis Separation Thermodynamics). 

The practice of estabHshing empirical equations has provided useflil information, but also exhibits some deficiencies. Eor example, a single spray parameter, such as may not be the only parameter that characterizes the performance of a spray system. The effect of cross-correlations or interactions between variables has received scant attention. Using the approach of varying one parameter at a time to develop correlations cannot completely reveal the tme physics of compHcated spray phenomena. Hence, methods employing the statistical design of experiments must be utilized to investigate multiple factors simultaneously.

This book provides an extensive exposition of experimental design at a relatively elementary level. It includes most of the standard material, as well as detailed discussions of such subjects as nested and spHt-plot experiments. Restrictions on randomization receive special emphasis. 

Design of experiments. When conclusions are to be drawn or decisions made on the basis of experimental evidence, statistical techniques are most useful when experimental data are subject to errors. The design of experiments may then often be carried out in such a fashion as to avoid some of the sources of experimental error and make the necessary allowances for that portion which is unavoidable. Second, the results can be presented in terms of probability statements which express the reliabihty of the results. Third, a statistical approach frequently forces a more thorough evaluation of the experimental aims and leads to a more definitive experiment than would otherwise have been performed.

There is an entire discipline of Experimental Design that is devoted to the art and science of determining what should be in a training set. A detailed exploration of the Design of Experiments (DOE, or experimental design) is beyond the scope of this book.
