Chapter 18, Problem 10ICA

What is stored in variable A after each of the following code segments is executed? If the program returns an error, indicate why.

  1. a. A=5;

if A/2>2

A= A*–1;

else

A = A/2;

End

  1. b. x=2; y=4; A=0;

if x + y<4

A= A+2;

elseif x+y <6

A = A + 4;

end

  1. c. T=6; A=–1;

if T/3>2

A = A*–1;

elseif T/3<=2

A = A+2;

end

  1. d. x=2; y=0; A=10;

if x<=0&&y<=0

A = A+2;

elseif x>=D&&y<0

A = A/2;

elseif x>=2&&y<=0

The heated rod from Problem 3 is subject to a volumetric heatingh(x) = h0xLin units of [Wm−3], as shown in the figure below. Under theheat supply the temperature of the rod changes along x with thetemperature function T(x). The temperature T(x) is governed by thefollowing equations:(−ddx (q(x)) + h(x) = 0 PDEq(x) = −kdTdx Fourier’s law of heat conduction(4)where q(x) is the heat flux through the rod and k is the (constant)thermal conductivity. Both ends of the bar are in contact with a heatreservoir at zero temperature.   Determine:1. Appropriate BCs for this physical problem.2. The temperature function T(x).3. The heat flux function q(x).
A heated rod of length L is subject to a volumetric heating h(x) = h0xLinunits of [Wm−3], as shown in the figure below. Under the heat supply thetemperature of the rod changes along x with the temperature functionT(x). The temperature T(x) is governed by the following equations:(−ddx (q(x)) + h(x) = 0 PDEq(x) = −kdTdx Fourier’s law of heat conduction(3)where q(x) is the heat flux through the rod and k is the (constant)thermal conductivity. The left end of the bar is in contact with a heatreservoir at zero temperature, while the right end of the bar is thermallyinsulated.    Determine:1. Appropriate BCs for this physical problem.2. The temperature function T(x).3. The heat flux function q(x).
