Numerical Methods For Engineers 8

This document discusses the application of numerical methods in various engineering fields. It describes how the Newton-Raphson method can be used to solve ideal gas law and pressure/temperature computations in chemical engineering. In civil/environmental engineering, numerical methods are useful for open-channel flow computations, with bracketing and open methods both applicable. Electrical circuit problems can be analyzed using Kirchhoff's laws and solved with bracketing and open methods. Numerical solutions are also important for vibration analysis in mechanical and aerospace engineering, using Newton's second law of motion.

NUMERICAL METHODS

FOR ENGINEERS

PART 2
CHAPTER 8
ENGINEERING
APPLICATIONS: ROOTS OF
EQUATIONS

IDEAL AND NON IDEAL GAS


LAWS
IDEAL GAS LAW

VAN DER WAALS EQUATION

The use of the Newton-Raphson


method has been useful in chemical
engineering.
The Newton-Raphson method can be
applied in solving some ideal gas law
computations and pressure and
temperature computations.

Methods like false-position method


and bisection method would not be
appropriate to use because it would

OPEN-CHANNEL FLOW
(CIVIL/ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING)
Civil Engineering It is a broad field
that includes such diverse areas as
structural,
geotechnical,
transportation, environmental, and
water resources engineering.

CONTINUITY EQUATION
Q = UAc

The continuity equation is one of


the fundamental equation use
for finding flow and depth.

Numerical methods have been useful in


dealing
with
open-channel
flow
computations.
Bracketing Methods like Bisection Method
and False-Position Method can be use in
this kind of computations and also Open
methods like Newton-Raphson method.
Solving Open-Channel flow computations
requires the use of different methods to
be able to obtain the right answer.

DESIGN OF AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT


(ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING)

Electrical Engineers often use Kirchhoffs laws


to study the steady-state behaviour of electric
circuits.

FORMULAS USED IN SOLVING


ELECTRIC CIRCUITS

VR = iR

VR - Voltage drop
i - current
R -Resistance

VC - Voltage drop
q - charge
C - capacitance

Numerical methods can also be


applied in solving electric circuit
computations.
Bracketing Methods namely bisection
method can be useful to solve
electric circuit computations same
several open methods namely simple
fixed-point iteration, secant method
is useful when doing electric circuit
computations.
