The amount of mass transported via a pipe over a period of time can be computed as
= .
where = mass (mg), = initial time (min.), = final time (min.), = volumetric flow
rate (m3/min.) and = concentration (mg/m3). The following functional representations
define the temporal variations in flow and concentration:
= 9 + 4 0.4
= 3 .
a) Determine the total mass transported between = 2 min. and = 6 min. with a step
size of 1 min. using suitable application of Simpsons rule.
[15 marks]
b) Estimate the rate of change of the volumetric flow rate for each time step in part (a)
using differentiation formula of .

where is the gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s2). It can be assumed that the angle, of
the problem is small enough such that the approximation of sin = is valid, and then the
Given = 1 m, what will be the distance, at 0.4 s if = 0.1 rad and angular velocity, * is

An engineer would like to investigate the temperature of a steel rod which is anchored at a
wall, as depicted in Figure 2 below. In order to minimize the heat loss to the surroundings, an
insulating material is wrapped around the rod. The length of the rod is 9 cm and the distance
between the points, as depicted in Figure 2, is equal. The initial temperature of the rod, along
points B, C and D at t = 0.0 s was measured to be 10 C and constant boundary temperatures
of 90 C and 25 C as shown in Figure 2 below.

Using the Crank-Nicolson method, solve for the temperature distribution along points B, C
and D after 0.2 s with a step size of 0.1 s, given that the thermal conductivity of the rod,
- = 0.65 cal / (s cm C). Use the standard LU decomposition method to solve for the
system of equations obtained from the Crank-Nicolson method.

Raphson Gauge International Corporation is testing the efficiency of its newly designed sea
pressure gauge. The gauge is used to measure the pressure resulted in the sea as the distance
from the surface increased.
The data of depth, in km with respect to the sea pressure, 3 in bar is shown in the table
below.
Depth, (km)

210
380
450
[12 marks]
b) Based on the polynomial obtained in part (a), calculate the depth, when the sea
pressure, 3 is 290 bar using the Bisection Method. Use initial guesses of = 0.35
and 0.60 km. Perform THREE iterations only. Find the error of approximation at
each iteration.
