Stress analysis of a chemical reactor head was computationally simulated by a finite element method and probabilistically evaluated in view of several uncertainties in the performance parameters. Cumulative distribution functions and sensitivity factors were computed for overall heat transfer rate due to the structural and thermodynamic random variables. These results can be used to quickly identify the most critical design variables in order to optimize the design and make it cost effective. The analysis leads to the selection of appropriate measurements to be used in structural and heat transfer analysis and to the identification of both the most critical measurements and parameters.
