a) Use the best numerical differentiation technique available to estimate the value of
at
T = 400 K for each value of pressure.
b) Use the best combination of Newton cotes integration to estimate the enthalpy of the
fluid at 400 K.
c) Use Newton’s third-order polynomial interpolation to find the volume at P = 20 atm and
T = 360 K to the best possible accuracy.
Q2): (15 points) A company manufactures two drugs: A and B. The drugs are produced by blending
two chemicals only: 1 and 2. Drug A must contain 4 kg of chemical 1 and 1.5 kg of chemical 2, and
drug B must contain 2 kg of chemical 1 and 5 kg of chemical 2. To make one kilogram, the
company must invest 3 hours of skilled labor for drug A and 2 hours for drug B. The company has
at most 150 hours of skilled labor and at least 80 kg of chemical 1 and 120 kg of chemical 2. The
demand for drug B is at least half of that of Drug A. each type of drugs must be stored for 2 days
before selling it. However, the storage tanks capacity is less than 120 kg. Drug A costs $4/kg and
sells for $6/kg, while drug B costs $2.5/kg and sells for $3.5/kg. Determine how much of each
drug should be produced to maximize the profit. What is the maximum profit? Set the linear
programming problem to maximize the profit and solve the linear programming problem
graphically using the manual and excel (all calculations and graphical works must be done
using excel).

Q4): (10 points) The following model can be used to compute the dissolved oxygen concentration in
a river below a point discharge of sewage
where C = dissolved oxygen concentration (mg/L),
oxygen saturation concentration (mg/L),
t = travel time (d), Lo = biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentration at the mixing point
(mg/L), kd = rate of decomposition of BOD (d-1), ks= rate of settling of BOD ( d-1), ka = reaeration
rate (d-1), and Sb = sediment oxygen demand (mg/L/d).
Given the following values:
Cs =10 mg/L Lo = 50 mg/L kd = 0.1 d-1
ka = 0.6 d-1
ks = 0.05 d-1
and Sb=1.0 (mg/L/d).
If the critical minimum level oxygen concentration is (4±0.01) mg/L, use your numerical
knowledge to check if the oxygen concentration drops below the critical limits along the time
period ti=1.5 day and tf =5 days (Hint find the value of critical travel time (t) using Golden section
search method).

Q6): (20 points) One of the forms of Van der Pol equations is giving by the following second-order
ODE:
𝜇
Subject to t=0 min, y=1, y'=0 and µ=10
Use the first-order Runge-Kutta method (Euler's method) to integrate the ODE from t=0 to t=10
mins with step size =2 and 5. Discuss your results.
