Consider a process to prepare a metal for a certain application. There are five parameters that must be considered:
temperature, quenching rate, cooling time, carbon content, CO₂ concentration. It is desired to determine which of
these parameters has the most influence on the process. There are two levels for each parameter as shown below.
Temperature (°C)
Quenching Rate(°C/s)
Cooling time (s)

For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm.
