- Q1: The data points below are related to a chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp from mixed density hardwoods. They relate Y (specific surface area of the fibres in cm/g) to the % NaOH (sodium hydroxide) used as a pretreatment chemical and the treatment time (min) for different batches of pulp. The variables are present at three different levels. In this case, it is preferred (for reasons that we will discuss later in the course) to code the levels as shown in the last two columns of the table below, designated by Xı and X2.
