N2 - A hierarchy of displays is described which represents the mass and energy flow functions of a simulated power plant. This representation provides oppor­ tunities to design alarm systems as an integral part of the display and helps to solve two of the most intricate problems in diagnosis, namely the problem of symptom referral and the problem of confusable faults. Findings suggest that this representation supports the kind of reasoning needed both to diagnose and achieve an understanding of plant dynamics during failures.
