| The behavior of a chemical system is affected by many  physicochemical parameters. The sensitivity of the system's behavior to  changes in parameters is known as parametric sensitivity. When a system  operates in a parametrically sensitive region, its performance becomes  unreliable and changes sharply with small variations in parameters.  Thus, it would be of great value to predict sensitivity behavior in  chemical systems. This book is the first to provide a thorough treatment  of the concept of parametric sensitivity and the mathematical tool it  generated, sensitivity analysis. The emphasis is on applications to real  situations. The book begins with definitions of various sensitivity  indices and describes the numerical techniques used for their  evaluation. Extensively illustrated chapters discuss sensitivity  analysis in a variety of chemical reactors - batch, tubular,  continuous-flow, fixed-bed - and in combustion systems, air pollution,  and metabolic processes. Chemical engineers, chemists, graduate  students, and researchers will welcome this valuable resource.  |
