Residence time distribution

Calculate the mean residence time and standard deviation of residence time of particles flowing through continuous processing unit(s).

This function use the RTD experimental data (pulse input experiment, or step change experiment) to calculate the mean residence time the particles spend in a continuous processing unit (for example a reactro, a continuous mixer or granulator) or a continuous manufacturing train from feeding to tabletting. Plotting of c-curve, E-curve, or F-curve is not included. The calculation follows Weibull probability distribution that is fitted to the c-curve. Standard deviation is also calulcated to describe the variance of residence time.
