CPB20203 Tutorial 1 July19

This document provides instructions and problems for using numerical methods like bisection, Newton-Raphson, and secant to find the roots of non-linear equations. It includes 4 problems to find roots of equations using bisection and 2 problems using Newton-Raphson and 1 using secant. The last problem provides an equation modeling flow rate in a pipe system and asks to approximate the real root in a given interval using all 3 methods.

Numerical Methods in Chemical Engineering


(CPB20203)
Tutorial 1 (Non-linear equations)

Instructions: a) Use 6 decimal places for all calculations. b) Use = 0.001 for all questions.

1. Using bisection method, find the root of

a) ( ) = − in the interval 0, .

b) ( ) = 3 − in the interval [0.25, 0.27].


c) ( ) = −7 + 14 − 6 in the interval [1, 3.2].
d) ( ) = √ − in the interval [0,1].

2. Use the Newton-Raphson method to estimate the root of


a) −2 −3+ = 0, with = 0.
b) ( ) = −3
c) ( ) = −

3. Use Secant method to estimate the root of ( ) = − , with = 0 and = 1.

4. The flow rate in a pipe system connecting two reservoirs (at different surface elevations) depends on
the characteristics of the pump, the roughness of the pipe, the length and the diameter of the pipe, and
the specific gravity of the fluid. For and 800 ft section of 6’’ pipe connecting two reservoirs (with a 5
ft differential in elevation) containing oil of specific gravity 0.8, with a 6-hp pump. The equation for
the flow rate is given by
12 + 5 − 40 = 0
Approximate the real root of the equation in the interval 0 ≤ ≤ 2, using:
a) Bisection method.
b) Newton-Raphson method.
c) Secant Method.
