ICH 2113 Tutorial 9

This document contains 4 problems related to chemical engineering mathematics concepts: 1. Using interpolation, find the heat capacity of dexamethasone at 55°C given data points between 0-100°C. 2. Use Simpson's rule to evaluate the enthalpy change from 20-100°C using given heat capacity data and find the density of ammonia vapor at 130°F using other given data. 3. Use linear interpolation to complete a table of thermal conductivity data for propane at different temperatures and pressures. 4. Derive the multistep integration formula for k=3 using a second degree polynomial and Newton-Gregory backward difference formula.

Approximations, interpolation, numerical integration and numerical differentiation

1. Data for the heat capacity of dexamethasone between 0 oC and 100oC is given below

ToC Cp(cal/goC)
0.0 0.505
10.0 0.537
20.0 0.570
30.0 0.607
40.0 0.642
50.0 0.675
60.0 0.705
70.0 0.737
80.0 0.770
90.0 0.800
100.0 0.840
Using Newton – Gregory forward difference interpolation, find Cp at 55 oC

2. a) Using the data in no. 1 above evaluate


100
∆H = ∫ CpdT
20
by Simpson’s rule.

b) Data for the vapour pressure of ammonia from 70 oC to 140oC is given below:

ToF Pressure (P in Psi)


70 128.8
80 153.0
90 160.6
100 211.9
110 247.0
120 286.4
130 333.3
140 379.1
dP ∆ H
=
dT TVg

If ∆H = 423340.8 Ibf-ft/Ibm, estimate the density of ammonia vapour at 130 oF.

Note: density = 1/Vg.

3. Find the thermal conductivity of propane at 110 atm and 200 oF from the following data

ToF P (atm) K (BTU/hft2 .oF.ft-1)


154 96.7 0.0490
131.5 0.0518
189 88.9 0.0440
131.8 0.0466
222 96.7 0.0402
140.9 0.0435
284 95.3 0.0353
123.0 0.0376

Hint: use linear interpolation to complete the following table

T 154 189 222 284


K

4. For the multistep integration formula,


xi +k

yi+1 = yi-k + ∫ f (x , y )dx


xi−k

for the case k= 3, fit a polynomial (second degree), P 2(X) passing through (xi-2,yi-2), (xi-1,yi-1), and
(xi,yi); using Newton – Gregory backward difference formula, derive the following formula:

yi+1 = yi-k + 4h/3[2fi-2 – 2fi-1 + 2fi]
