State variables
A state variable arises naturally in the accumulation term of a
dynamic material or energy balance.
(e.g. temperature, concentration )
Input variables
A input variable normally must be specified before a problem
solved or a process can be operated. Input variables are often
manipulated to achieve desired performance.
(e.g. flowrates, compositions, temperatures of streams )
ParametersA parameter is typically a physical or chemical property value that
must be specified or known to solve a problem.
(e.g. density, reaction rate constant, heat-transfer coefficient)
