Question
Reconciliation of inaccurate process measurements isan important problem in process control that can be solved using optimization techniques. The flow rates of streams B and C have been measured three times during the current shift shown in Fig. Some errors in the measurement devices exist. Assuming steady-state operation (wA=constant), find the optimal value of wA(flow rate in kg/h) that minimizesthe sum of the squares of the errors for the material balance,wA+wC=wB using an analytical solution.
