Engineering experiment design

C. Lipson and N. J. Sheth, Statistica/Design andAna/ysis of Engineering Experiments, McGraw-HiU, New York, 1972. "This book is written in a relatively simple style so that a reader with a moderate knowledge of mathematics may foUow the subject matter. No prior knowledge of statistics is necessary." Appreciably more discussion is devoted to statistical analysis than to the planning of experiments. Some relatively nonstandard subjects (for an introductory text), such as accelerated experiments, fatigue experiments, and renewal analysis are also included.

The process engineer must design a plant for the current process solely on the basis of published information. After he has completed his study no one will perform experiments to verify his assumptions, since the company does not plan to use that process. He is on his own. This type of problem is excellent for chemical engineering design classes. Some of best sources of material for such exercises are given at the end of this chapter. 

This paper is designed as a technical overview of the sulfur question in synfuels production. It is not intended as a detailed literature review rather, the discussion is a compilation of engineering experience in the field. In the context of the sulfur symposium, the paper is directed at those who are interested in sulfur itself and not, for example, in the environmental implications of sulfur. 

The matrix is truly interfunctional manufacturing and marketing provide the real-world experience to help determine exactly what knowledge research should investigate and how engineering should design for it. The environment, health, safety, and loss prevention performance of the chemical industry reflects the effectiveness with which the functional elements of the matrix interact.

Creativity is a major issue in process design. This is not a matter only of engineering experience, but above all of adopting the approach of process systems. This consists of a systemic viewpoint in problem analysis supported by systematic methods in process design.

Gustave Eiffel, the French engineer who designed the ingenious support structure, knew from experience that if the copper touched the iron framework, the more active iron would corrode very rapidly.
