Solving system of equations


Example:
X + Y = 10
X - 2*Y = 5
X + Z = 10 - Y
X - 2*Y = 5
X=4-Z

What about this?


X + Y + Z = 10
X+Y=0

ERROR!

Remember, number of variables = number of equations!

Solving system of equations


Example:
Calculate volume of cylinder where radius is 10 m and
)
height = 12 m (using
V = pi * (R^2) * H
R = 10
H = 12

Calculate radius of cylinder where height is 10 m and


volume = 3000 m3 (using
)
V = pi * (R^2) * H
H = 10
V = 3000

Exercise
A piston cylinder device initially contains 0.4m3 of air at
100kPa and 80C. The air is now compressed to 0.1m3 in
such a way that the temperature inside the cylinder
remains constant. Determine the work done during this
process.
ln
V1 = 0.4
P1 = 100
T1 = 80
V2 = 0.1
Wb = (P1*V1)*ln(V2/V1)

Units and conversion


Convert statement is used to do unit conversion:
Convert ( from-unit , to-unit )
Try:

Right-click and
select Units list

A = 30*Convert(ft,m)
B = 10*Convert(MJ, kJ)
C = 100*Convert(kJ/kg,BTU/lbm)

Solution:

Note: Unit to each variable is automatically assigned.

Exercise
Convert 3 bar/kW to kPa/J

ERROR!

a = 3*convert(bar/kW,kPa/J)

Remember, always convert into consistent units.

Convert 3 bar/kW to kPa.s/J


a = 3*convert(bar/kW,kPa*s/J)

12

Units and conversion: Temperature


ConvertTemp statement is used to do unit conversion
between degree centigrade (C) and Fahrenheit (F):
ConvertTEMP ( from-unit , to-unit, value)
Try:
TheF = ConvertTEMP(C,F,30)
TheC = ConvertTEMP(F,C,100)

"Convert 30 deg. C to deg. F"


"Convert 100 deg. F to deg. C"

Consider a steam power plant operating on a simple ideal
Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 3 MPa and
350C and is condensed in a condenser at a pressure of
75kPa. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle.

Exercise: Rankine Cycle


P1 = 75
T1 =TEMPERATURE(Steam,P=P1,x=0)
h1 = ENTHALPY(Steam,T=T1,P=P1)
