  2. 1. Contributions to the use of designed experiments in continuous processes : a study of blast furnace experiments

    Author : Erik Vanhatalo; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology Management;

    Abstract : Design of Experiments (DoE) contains techniques, such as factorial designs, that help experimenters maximize the information output from conducted experiments and minimize the amount of experimental work required to reach statistically significant results. The use of DoE in industrial processes is frequently and thoroughly described in literature. READ MORE

  4. 2. On design of experiments in continuous processes

    Author : Erik Vanhatalo; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology and Management;

    Abstract : Design of Experiments (DoE) includes powerful methods, such as factorial designs, to help maximize the information output from conducted experiments while minimizing the experimental work required for statistically significant results. The benefits of using DoE in industry are thoroughly described in the literature although the actual use of the methods in industry is far from being pervasive. READ MORE
