Question 1

The matlab code for calculating the pressure using the three different methods is
below. Where we can see that the secant method has the fastest convergence rate
compared with the other two methods for the same value of the tolerance error.
Using the secant method. In order to find a numerical value for the initial guesses
we plot the van dar Waals equation for different values of the specific volume v as
shown in figure 1. From this plot we found out the graphical solution of the problem
is around 5

Figure 1

Using bisection method = 4.8181

Using secant method = 4.8181
Using newton Raphson method = 4.8181

For the different the range of pressure values from 5 to 50 atm we got the following
solution using the three different method is shown n figure 2. Where the three
methods converged to the same numerical solution but with the different number of
iteration. The secant method required the lowest number of iteration (converged
faster) compared with the other two methods

Question 2

Using the false position method we developed a program to find the temperature as
function of the Oxygen concentration. Where the error was fixed at 0.000005.

For Oxygen concentration of 8 we found that the corresponding temperature is

299.9301
For Oxygen concentration of 10 we found that the corresponding temperature is
288.5382
For Oxygen concentration of 14 we found that the corresponding temperature is
274.7046
