Consider the following statements about start-up and shutdown.
1. They are inherently unsteady state operations.
2. Their analysis needs initial conditions as well as balances.
3. Steady state balances describe them adequately.

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.3 only
  • C.1 only
  • D.All of them

Answer: A

The first two are correct. The third is wrong, and the point matters because start-up is where a plant is at its most hazardous and steady state calculations say nothing about it. Most incidents happen away from normal operation.
