Sensitivity analyses evaluate the effects of changes in certain variables on project simulations or investment economics.1
Sensitivity analyses evaluate the effects of changes in certain variables on project simulations or investment economics.1 The analysis involves an automated procedure for adjusting input parameters of a stream or unit operation over a range of values and recording the results so that reliable and efficient operation can be achieved. This variation in parameters can facilitate design simulations in several ways, including:
Determining the feasible operation range
Categorizing important performance parameters
Establishing minimum and/or maximum limits.
Many operations in the process industries rely heavily upon shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Heat is transferred between two fluids tha
