PROCESS INPUT ANALYSIS

Abstract

Process input analysis may be considered within the same framework as process synthesis and process output analysis. In this paper, two different modes of process input analysis are discussed; namely, the direct data handling approach and the analytical approach. An application is presented in which process input analysis is employed to correct for a consistent bias in the experimental data caused by the detection system. The corrected data are in excellent agreement with similar data obtained b a different technique.
