A method is suggested for a complex statistical treatment of the material balance of a chemical reactor, based on the stoichiometric characteristics of reactions taking place in the reactor. Statistically adjusted values of the balance variables are obtained, and the hypothesis that the material balance data do not contain gross errors is tested. The calculation procedure is demonstrated by an illustrative example of the material balance of a fermentation process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
