Degrees of Freedom: Interactive Simulation
This simulation runs on your browser. Try to predict the behavior when a parameter changes before using a slider to change that parameter. A screencast explains how to use this simulation.
Simulation: Degree of Freedom Analysis on a Distillation Column
Try to answer these questions before determining the answer with the simulation. We suggest that you write down the reasons for your answers.
- If you increase the number of unknowns within the same problem, does the system move toward over- or underspecification?
- How are the number of degrees affected by the switch from using 1 – zA to zB as the species B representation? Explain.
