Assignment Description
1. (10 points) Consider the following matrices:
A = 3 2 8 B = 4 2 5 6
-5 6 0 -3 0 7 1
8 -4 9 16
a. Determine the sum and product of each matrix column using built-in MATLAB matrix functions
b. Multiply each element of A by 3 and divide each element of B by 4.
c. Multiply matrix A by matrix B. Save your answer as a new matrix, C
2. (15 points) In heat transfer, radiation emitted from a black body (an object that does not reflect any light) is measured by the Stefan-Boltzmann law:
Where E is the emittance (in W/m2), T is temperature (in Kelvin), and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, 5.67*10-8 W/(m2K4). Write a function (.m file) that solves for the temperature of a black body that emits 6000 W/m2. Round your answer to the nearest integer.
HINT: Use the nthroot function when solving for T.
3. (20 points) Consider a generic chemical reaction, A à B + C, where a compound dissociates into two products. The concentration, c, of component A is measured at 10-minute time (t) intervals, as shown in the table below:
t, min | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 |
c, ppm | 3.4 | 2.6 | 1.6 | 1.3 | 1.0 | 0.5 |
The engineer analyzing the data creates the following model equation to approximate the concentration for any value of t:
It is common practice in science and engineering to plot discrete data points using symbols or markers, and to plot a mathematical model function using a continuous line. Therefore:
a. Plot the data using magenta diamond-shaped markers
b. Plot the model on the same graph using a solid green line
Be sure to include a legend, axis labels, axis limits, and an appropriate chart title.
4. (25 points) The “butterfly curve” is a famous set of parametric equations, which are shown below:
a. Create an array for t that ranges from 0 to 100 in intervals of 1/16 (or 0.0625)
b. Generate x and y values using your t vector. Note: You MUST use the element-by-element multiplication and exponentiation commands (.* & .^, respectively) rather than just the star (*) or carat (^)
c. Plot x vs. t and y vs. t on the same figure. Use a solid blue line x and a solid red line for y, along with a legend and appropriate chart & axis titles.
d. Using the subplot command, stack your plot from part c on top of a plot of y vs. x. Give this plot a title and axis labels as well. Can you see where the name “butterfly curve” comes from?!
5. (25 points) The vapor pressure of a component as a function of temperature can be predicted from the Antoine Equation:
Where:
A, B, and C are constants for a given component
T is the Temperature in Kelvin
P* is the Vapor Pressure in mm Hg
a. Write a main program (.m file) in MATLAB that will calculate the vapor pressures of benzene between 300-600 Kelvin in increments of 30 K. The program should call a single function (separate .m file) called antoine, which will pass the Antoine constants and return (output) P* for each calculation of the vapor pressure.
The user should be prompted to enter a 1 or a 2 to select the type of loop used for the problem. Use a switch structure to solve the problem for either case - when case 1 is selected, a for loop should execute; when case 2 is selected, a while loop should run. In both cases, store the values of the temperature and pressure in a matrix
b. Use fprintf statements to print the your matrix as a table with the following headings:
Benzene
Temperature Vapor Pressure
(deg. Celsius) (mm Hg)
Remember to convert from Kelvin to degrees Celsius.
c. Finally, plot the vapor pressures as a function of temperature on a single plot, which is labeled appropriately. Use data markers of your choosing rather than a continuous curve.
Constants for Antoine Equation:
