EH/OCT 2009/CHE555

a) The flow rate of oil leaving a large tanker during loading process was expressed as j r '(l.2 - f ) ( l - e 20(M) )c#, Evaluate the flowrate of oil at 1 minute using four intervals by
0

the following methods i) Multiple segment Simpson's -re?rule (11 marks) b) The following system of equation is designed to determine concentrations, C (g/m3) in a series of coupled reactors as a function of amount of mass input (gram per day) to each reactor. Solve the system of equations below using Gauss-Seidel method in direct format. Perform three iterations using the initial approximation C-, = 0.1, C2 = 0.8 and C3 = 0.5. 4C, + 2C2 + C3 = 4 C,+3C2+C3=4

ii) Multiple segment trapezoidal rule

3C,+2C2+6C3=7
(12 marks)

QUESTION 2 a) The concentration of salt, CA in a homemade soap maker is given as a function of time by

dC. ^ = -2^ 3 +12? 2 -20^ + 8.5 dt

At the initial time, the salt concentration in the tank is x(0) = 1 g/L. Estimate the salt concentration after 1 minute using the Euler's method with a step size of 0.5 min and 0.25 min. Calculate the true errors and comment your answer for the difference in step size. (15 marks) b) Based on the Newton Raphson method, find the iteration scheme of ~J~N where N is a positive real number. (2 marks)

EH/OCT 2009/CHE555

The AP Circuit Company produces double-sided and multi-layered printed circuit board (PCB). Each multi-layered PCB takes four hours of labour from the manufacturing department and two hours of labour from the finishing department. Each double-sided PCB requires three hours of manufacturing and one hour of finishing. During the current week, 240 hours of manufacturing time are available and 100 hours of finishing time. Each multilayered PCB produced gives a profit of RM70 and each double-sided PCB a profit of RM50. Set up a linear programming problem to calculate the number of multi-layered and doublesided PCB should be made for maximum profit and solve it using Simplex method (20 marks)
