CHAPTER 3 Response surface methodology 3.1 Introduction Response surface methodology (RSM) is a collection of mathematical and statistical techniques for empirical model building. By careful design of experiments‚ the objective is to optimize a response (output variable) which is influenced by several independent variables (input variables). An experiment is a series of tests‚ called runs‚ in which changes are made in the input variables in order to identify the reasons for changes in

Formulas of Surface area and Lateral surface area of Polyhedrons LSA or Lateral Surface Area refers to the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three-dimensional figure‚ excluding its bases. SA or Surface Area- refers to the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three-dimensional figure. It also referred to as the Total Surface Area (TSA). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Rectangular Prism LSA= P(h) *where P=perimeter of the base ; h= measurement of the height SA= 2B+ LSA *where

Graphs‚ Groups and Surfaces 1 Introduction In this paper‚ we will discuss the interactions among graphs‚ groups and surfaces. For any given graph‚ we know that there is an automorphism group associated with it. On the other hand‚ for any group‚ we could associate with it a graph representation‚ namely a Cayley graph of presentations of the group. We will first describe such a correspondence. Also‚ a graph is always embeddable in some surface. So we will then focus on properties of graphs

important in many different areas‚ and especially in the making of ships. The surface area that is touching the water of the ship is very large‚ due to the shape of the hull‚ and that‚ beside the density of the ship‚ is what keeps the ship floating. An important example of how surface area affects buoyancy is when people float in the water. Everyone knows that it is much easier to stay afloat when we are lying on our backs than when we are in a standing position in the water. But how does the surface area

Investigating the effect of surface area to volume ratio on Osmosis As far as living organisms are concerned‚ they are all made up of cells whereas‚ the membrane surrounds all those cells. The cell membrane has the key responsibility to maintain a stable interval environment. Even though‚ Cell membrane is made up of phospholipids bilayer and has that great amount flexibility making it unbreakable while transportation of substances. However‚ certain substances such as‚ dissolved gases‚ sugars‚ salt

How Bundling Lowers Insurance Costs It is not uncommon for people to have one insurance company that was recommended by their real estate agent for their home and another insurance company for their car and still a different one for their life insurance. This is mainly because many people keep the same life insurance company that their parent has had and follow the recommendation of their car dealer for their auto insurance.
