# Math 2250 Fall 2001 # Project I # SolutionTemplate # # 1) Type in your name and student number here: # # You are to do the section 1.5 computer project, using this # template. When you are done you should print out a copy to hand in to # your Instructor. A preliminary discussion, in which the text # discussion of pages 55-57 is expanded to include Maple commands, is # found at the end of the tutorial which accompanies this project. It # is assumed that you have already worked through that. Both the # tutorial and this template can be downloaded by following the links # from our course home page, at # http://www.math.utah.edu/~korevaar/2250fall01.html # # SCENARIO: # It is not summer in Georgia. It is winter in Salt Lake City. We # will dream it is early spring, (around equinox), and that the 5-day # forecast in the newspaper says the weather will be stable, with lows # of 26 degrees, and highs of 60 degrees. As in the text and for the # sake of simplicity, we will assume a sinusoidal daily temperature # oscillation, except our low will be at 2 a.m, and our high will be at # 2 p.m. # We must leave town for 3 days, and are deciding whether to turn # off the heat while we are gone. The question we wonder about is, will # the water pipes in the house freeze if we do turn off the heat? # # 2) Review the model which leads to equation (3) on page 56. Use # integrals #49 and 50 and the algorithm for solving first order linear # DE's on pages 44-45, to solve (3) by hand, keeping all parameters as # letters. Staple your work onto the printout of your completed # project which you hand in. Your answer should agree with equation (4) # on page 56. You will see that the constant c0 in that answer is the # constant C of integration you obtain when you follow the solution # recipe for linear DE's. You find its value in terms of the initial # condition u(0)=u0 by pluggin in u=u0, t=0, as usual. You will # discover that the text writes c0 incorrectly: there is a hidden minus # sign which has become glued to the fraction which follows a0, in the # book's formula, i.e. the correct formula for c0 is 2 k omega b[1] - k a[1] c[0] := ---------------------- + u[0] - a[0] 2 2 k + omega # > restart:with(DEtools):with(plots): # 3) Use dsolve to have Maple find the solution to (3), with u(0)=u0. # You might have already done this in the tutorial, in which case you # can copy the appropriate commands from there, paste them in here, and # re-execute them. Check that your solution agrees with your hand work # above, as well as the (corrected) text. # > # # 4) Figure out the parameter values for the Salt Lake City # temperature, as modeled above. Of course, omega will still be Pi/12, # but now you have different daily average temperature, amplitude, and # phase than was used in equation (2) on page 56, when summer in Georgia # was being modeled. Fill the new values in below. Then work out by # hand, using the cosine addition formula, the values you should take # for a0, a1, b1, so that A(t) is given by (1) on page 56, and so that # the differential equation (3) also has the correct parameter values. # # # Average Temperature = # Temperature variation amplitude = # Phase delay (was 4 hours in Georgia example) = # > omega:=Pi/12.0; > a0:= > #don't forget the semicolons > a1:= > b1:= > A:=t->a0 + a1*cos(omega*t) + b1*sin(omega*t); # # We will assume your house is moderately well-insulated, so that k=0.3: > k:=0.3; # # 5) Find the solution to (3) with the particular parameter choices you # made above. You should get a solution function like (5) on page 56, # but reflecting the Salt Lake City temperatures and the new insulation # parameter. # > # 6) Identify the part of your solution which persists as t approaches # infinity, i.e. the steady periodic solution. Your formula should have # the same character as equation (6) on page 57. # > # 7) Write the steady periodic solution in the form of equation (7) on # page 57, so that you can see the time delay for the inside # temperature. You need to use the cosine addition formula. The text # has a discussion on page 315 which may help you. It is shown there # that if # x(t) := A cos(omega t) + B sin(omega t) # then also x(t) := t -> C cos(omega t - alpha) # where the right triangle of Figure 5.4.4 page 315 summarizes the # relationships between A,B, C, and alpha. # > # 8) Assume that your heater shut off at midnight, with the inside # temperature equal to 70 degrees. Create a plot like Figure 1.5.10 # which displays the inside temperature and the outside ambient # temperature for the next three days. # > # 9) Create a picture like Figure 1.5.9, which also includes the slope # field for this differential equation, with our Salt Lake City # parameters. Choose initial temperatures between 40 and 70 degrees, in # 5 degree increments. Label the maximum and minimum temperature times # by hand, on the display printout, before you hand in the project. # > # 10) So, based on your work in this project, how likely do you think # it is that the pipes will freeze if the heater is turned off for 3 # days starting at midnight? Explain your reasoning. # #
