The allowability conditions derived in Part I of this series are applied to develop intermediate storage sizing expressions for serial systems subjected to process parameter variations. Multiple variations in either starting moments, transfer flow rates, or transfer fractions are considered first. These results are then combined using a worst‐case analysis to develop size estimates under general variations. A simple statistical basis is given for the bounds on the cumulative variations which are employed in the sizing expressions. An example serial system is discussed to illustrate the results.
