Experimental design chart parameters

There are broadly two uses of chemometrics that interest the process chemist. The first of these is simply data display. It is a truism that the human eye is the best analytical tool, and by displaying multivariate data in a way that can be easily assimilated by eye a number of diagnostic assessments can be made of the state of health of a process, or of reasons for its failure [ 153], a process known as MSPC [154—156]. The key concept in MSPC is the acknowledgement that variability in process quality can arise not just by variation in single process parameters such as temperature, but by subtle combinations of process parameters. This source of product variability would be missed by simple control charts for the individual process parameters. This is also the concept behind the use of experimental design during process development in order to identify such variability in the minimum number of experiments. 

To analyze the operational parameters used in the acrylic acid production process, a fractional factorial design of two-level (2 ) with two level of fractionation was used. In this experimental design, six variables (Si , Fi , Xj , Dp, D and L) were investigated in 16 runs. The values of such parameters are shown in Table 7, whereas Table 8 depicts the coded units of parameters and the obtained response in each simulation (colurim 8). The obtained results are shown in Pareto chart (Fig. 7). 

This handbook is designed to provide general information on the basic principles of TA and a variety of its applications. It is composed of two 1915 parts. Part I deals with information on the transition, reaction and characteristic parameters of substances. It introduces general principles, data 1919 treatment, experimental procedures and data analysis. Part II presents about 1000 typical 1945 thermal analysis curves, with brief explanations, for a wide variety of materials, such as polymers, 1960s foods, woods, minerals, explosives, inorganic compounds, and their coupled simultaneous 1964 curves. TA charts have been contributed by Institutes and Universities in China. Part III cites 1965 various data tables relating to thermal analysis.
