Stack loss data¶
Description¶
The stack loss plant data of Brownlee (1965) contains 21 days of measurements from a plant’s oxidation of ammonia to nitric acid. The nitric oxide pollutants are captured in an absorption tower.
Notes¶
Number of Observations - 21
Number of Variables - 4
Variable name definitions::
STACKLOSS - 10 times the percentage of ammonia going into the plant
that escapes from the absoroption column
AIRFLOW - Rate of operation of the plant
WATERTEMP - Cooling water temperature in the absorption tower
ACIDCONC - Acid concentration of circulating acid minus 50 times 10.
