Short Answer

Fluid Ejection. In the design of a sewage treatment plant, the following equation arises: 60-H=(77.7)H''+(19.42)(H')2;H(0)=H'(0)=0 where H is the level of the fluid in an ejection chamber, and t is the time in seconds. Use the vectorized Runge–Kutta algorithm with h = 0.5 to approximate H(t) over the interval [0, 5].

The result can get by the Runge-Kutta method.

Step by Step Solution

Transform the equation

Here the equation is 60-H=(77.7)H''+(19.42)(H')2;H(0)=H'(0)=0.

The system can be written as:

x1=H(t)x2=H'=x'1H''=x'2

The transform equation:

x'1=x2x'2=[60-x1-(19.42)x22]77.7

The initial conditions are:

x1(0)=H(0)=0x2(0)=H'(0)=0

Apply the Runge-Kutta method.

Here h=0.5, N=10 steps, x1,0=0,x2,0=0 then;

x1,0=0,x2,0=0k1,1=hx2,0=0.5(0)=0k2,1=h60-x1,0-(19.42)x22,077.7=0.38610k1,2=0.09653k2,2=0.38144k1,3=0.09536k2,3=0.38124k1,4=0.19062k2,4=0.36732

Apply the recursive formula

t1=t0+h0+0.5=0.5x1(0.5)=x1,1=0.09573x2(0.5)=x2,1=0.37980

Apply the same procedure for n=1, 2,…., 9.
