Chapter 28, Problem 22P

Population-growth dynamics are important in a variety of planning studies for areas such as transportation and water-resource engineering. One of the simplest models of such growth incorporates the assumption that the rate of change of the population p is proportional to the existing population at any time t:

d p d t = G p ( P28 .22 .1 )

where G = a growth rate (per year). This model makes intuitive sense because the greater the population, the greater the number of potential parents. At time t = 0 , an island has a population of 6000 people. If G = 0.075 per year, employ Heun's method (without iteration) to predict the population at t = 20 years, using a step size of 0.5 year. Plot p versus t on standard and semilog graph paper. Determine the slope of the line on the semilog plot. Discuss your results.

HW4 EX1: An automobile moving over a rough road (Fig. 1.64) can be modeled considering (a) weight of the car body, passengers, seats, front wheels, and rear wheels; (b) elasticity of tires (suspension), main springs, and seats; and (c) damping of the seats, shock absorbers, and tires. Develop three mathematical models of the system using a gradual refinement in the modeling process. FIGURE 1.64 An automobile moving on a rough road. EX2 1.5* The consequences of a head-on collision of two automobiles can be studied by considering the impact of the automobile on a barrier, as shown in Fig. 1.65. Construct a mathematical model by considering the masses of the automobile body, engine, transmission, and suspen- sion and the elasticity of the bumpers, radiator, sheet metal body, driveline, and engine mounts.

A closed thermodynamic system consists of a fixed amount of substance (i.e. mass) in which no substance can flow across the boundary, but energy can. For a closed themodynamic system we cannot add energy to the system, via substance (E ) (1.e. matter which contains energy is not allowed across the boundary) Across the Boundaries E° = No Q = = Yes W mass NO CLOSED = Yes SY STEM m = constant | energy YES Figure 1.1.
