    Etch Rate Experiment (Myers & Montgomery, 2002)

    This case study explores the Myers and Montgomery (2002) etch rate experiment using response surface methodology (RSM) to optimise plasma etching in semiconductor manufacturing. A central composite design is used to model the effect of RF power and chamber pressure on etch rate.

  • Central Composite Design case study in chemical engineering

    Case Study: Synthesis of Pharmaceutical Compounds In the pharmaceutical industry, CCD has been used to optimise the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). For example, a study focused on optimising the yield and purity of a drug compound by varying factors such as temperature, reaction time, and reagent concentrations. Detailed Example: Pharmaceutical Compound Synthesis Let’s…
