English term

Numerical "manipulated variables"

English to Arabic Science Petroleum Eng/Sci Petrol
The well will also have some means of adjusting production, such as: a production control choke or a fixed bean choke (not shown) and/or a lift-gas injection control system or downhole interval control valves which control the production from one or more inflow regions of the well. Numerical "manipulated variables" are associated with each of these means of adjusting production.

Thanks

In general, when the source text uses two different terms with overlapping meaning, it is better to try and render them as two different terms in the target text as well.
Alaa Zeineldine Apr 9, 2007:
I thought of قابلة للتغيير and decided not to suggest it because of possible redundancy with the term متغيرات, the opposite of ثوابت. Think of متغيرات قابلة للتغيير as "variable variables". See also next note.
