Therefore, the second recommendation would be to maintain lower speeds (greater than 37 and lower

than 40) which are done through a higher speed setting of 6. I created dummy variables for speed
settings 4, 5 & 6 where 0 stands for not the setting and 1 stands for selected setting.

pH has positive correlation and a p-value of less than 5% therefore, is an important numeric variable. It
should be kept above 4.2 to increase percentage of burnable oil. I ignored thickness because of a p-value
more than 5% to create a regression equation. Therefore the final equation becomes:
Y = B
0
+ B
1
*pH + B
2
*actual speed + B
3
*(Lower*Upper) + B
4
*Speed 6
Burnable Oil (Y) = -2.71 + (2.61*4.3) + (0.10*38) + (-0.01*13) + (1.79*1) 14.00 => where the values of
x1, x2,x3,x4 are taken according to the recommendations given in this paper.

Bunker fuel is the residue left after extracting other
important components from crude oil. It is towards the end
of the drum. Therefore, pressure in the lower part of the
drum has impact on the burnable fuel. This relationship is
also impacted by the upper pressure as both upper and
lower pressures are highly correlated with one another.
Thus, I created an interaction variable by multiplying lower
and upper columns in excel.
The first recommendation would be that pressures in lower
and upper parts of the drum should be kept below 14 to
increase 12% burnable oil in the bunker fuel (Negative
Correlation with pctBurnable).
Next observation = speed setting
actual speed. That means
that at speed settings of 4 & 5
we have highest speed. We also
notice speed setting burnable
oil that also means actual
speed burnable oil.
