91Ó°ÊÓ

In a grid of wires, the temperature at exterior mesh points is maintained at constant values, (in°C)as shown in the accompanying figure. When the grid is in thermal equilibrium, the temperature Tat each interior mesh point is the average of the temperatures at the four adjacent points. For example,

T2=T3+T1+200+04

Find the temperatures T1,T2,andT3andwhen the grid is in thermal equilibrium.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The temperaturesT1,T2,andT3when the grid is in thermal equilibrium areT1=75T,T2=100TandT3=125T.

Step by step solution

01

Consider the diagram and extract equations

The temperature T at each interior mesh point is the average of the temperatures at the four adjacent points.

Using the diagram given, create the equations as given.

T2=T3+T1+200+04T1=0+T2+200+04T3=T2+0+0+4004

02

Rearrange the terms of the above equations

Consider the simplified equations.

4T2-T3-T1=200......(1)4T1-T2=200......(2)4T3-T2=400.....(3)

03

Solve the above equations (1), (2) and (3).

Consider the matrices.

-14-14-100-14T1T2T3=200200400

Perform the multiplication operation.

T1T2T3=75125100

The values are obtained asT1=75,T3=125,T2=100.

Thus,T1=75T,T2=100TandT3=125Tare the values of the temperatures,T1,T2,andT3

Construct three different augmented matrices for linear systems whose solution set is \({x_1} = - 2,{x_2} = 1,{x_3} = 0\).

A steam plant burns two types of coal: anthracite (A) and bituminous (B). For each ton of A burned, the plant produces 27.6 million of Btu of heat, 3100 grams (g) of sulphur dioxide, and 250g of particulate matter (solid-particle pollutants). For each ton of B burned, the plant produces 30.2 million Btu, 6400g of sulphur dioxide, and 360g of particulate matter.

  1. How much heat does the steam plant produce when it burns \({x_1}\) tons of \(A\) and \({x_2}\) tons of \(B\).
  2. Suppose a vector that lists the amounts of heat, sulphur dioxide, and particulate matter describes the output of the steam plant. Express this output as a linear combination of two vectors, assuming that the plant burns \({x_1}\) tons of \(A\) and \({x_2}\) tons of \(B\).
  3. [M] Over a certain time period, the steam plant produced 162 million Btu of heat, 23,610 g of sulphur dioxide, and 1623 g of particulate matter. Determine how many tons of each type of coal the steam plant must have burned. Include a vector equation as part of your solution.

In Exercises 19 and 20, find the parametric equation of the line

through a parallel to b.

19. \({\bf{a}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\0\end{array}} \right]\), \({\bf{b}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 5}\\3\end{array}} \right]\)

Describe the possible echelon forms of the matrix A. Use the notation of Example 1 in Section 1.2.

a. A is a \({\bf{2}} \times {\bf{3}}\) matrix whose columns span \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\).

b. A is a \({\bf{3}} \times {\bf{3}}\) matrix whose columns span \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{3}}}\).

As in Exercise 15, describe the solutions of the following system in parametric vector form, and provide a geometric comparison with the solution set in Exercise 6.

\(\begin{array}{c}{x_1} + 3{x_2} - 5{x_3} = 4\\{x_1} + 4{x_2} - 8{x_3} = 7\\ - 3{x_1} - 7{x_2} + 9{x_3} = - 6\end{array}\)
