Surface methodology

For the PS case, a three-variable Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM) design using formulation variables has been carried out. For the RF system, an eight-variable fractional-factorial screening study was done first to select significant factors, and this was followed by two RSM s which were similar in design to the one done for PS. The results have led directly to substantial improvements in both materials.

In addition to the basic methods such as SIMPLEX, other key methods for value chain management are the response surface methodology (RSM) to find a global optimum in a multi-dimensional simulation result surface (Merkuryeva 2005) or simulated annealing applied in the chemical production to find optima e.g. for reaction temperatures (Faber et al. 2005). 

Response-surface methodology has also been used to gain theoretical insight into a reacting system (B19) and to determine the order of a reaction (P3). 

Response-surface methodology has been used extensively for determining areas of process operation providing maximum profit. For example, the succinct representation of the rate surface of Eq. (114) indicates that increasing values of X3 will increase the rate r. If some response other than reaction rate is considered to be more indicative of process performance (such as cost, yield, or selectivity), the canonical analysis would be performed on this response to indicate areas of improved process performance.
