Chapter 18, Problem 8RQ
The Eco-Marathon is an annual competition sponsored by Shell Oil, in which participants build special vehicles to achieve the highest possible fuel efficiency. The Eco-Marathon is held around the world with events in the United Kingdom, Finland, France, Holland, Japan, and the United States.
A world record was set in the Eco-Marathon by a French team in 2003 called Microjoule with a performance of 10,705 miles per gallon. The Microjoule runs on ethanol. Write a MATLAB program to determine how far the Microjoule will travel in kilometers given a user-specified amount of ethanol, provided in units of grams. Your program should ask for the mass using an input statement and display the distance in a formatted sentence similar to the output that follows. If the user provides a mass less than zero or greater than 500 grams, your program should terminate after displaying an error message using the error function indicating that the provided
mass of ethanol is outside of the desired range of input.
Sample Input/Output (three examples)
Enter mass of ethanol [grams]: -15
Error: Mass must be between 0 and 500 grams
Enter mass of ethanol [grams]: 1000
Error: Mass must be between 0 and 500 grams
Enter mass of ethanol [grams]: l00
The distance the Microjoule traveled is 577 kilometers.

An elastic bar of length L = 1m and cross section A = 1cm2 spins with
angular velocity ω about an axis, as shown in the figure below. The
radial acceleration at a generic point x along the bar is a(x) = ω2x,
where ω= 100rad/s is the angular velocity. The bar is pinned on the
rotation axis at x = 0. A mass M = 1kg is attached to the right end of
the bar. Due to the radial acceleration, the bar stretches along x with
displacement function u(x). The displacement u(x) solves the BVP
(strong form) sketched below:

where σ(x) is the axial stress in the rod, ρ= 2700kg /m3 is the mass
density, and E = 70GPa is the Young’s modulus

2. Find the solution of the strong BVP analytically

Heat is now transferred to the water, causing part of it to evaporate and expand. When the volume reaches 0.26 m3, the piston reaches a linear spring whose spring constant is 100 kN/m.

The steam radiator transfers heat at a rate of 10,000 kJ/h, and a 100-W fan is used to distribute the warm air in the room. The rate of heat loss from the room is estimated to be about 5000 kJ/h. If the initial temperature of the room air is 10°C, determine how long it will take for the air temperature to rise to 25°C. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa·m3/kg·K (Table A-1). Also, cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·K for air at room temperature (Table A-2). Steam enters the radiator system through an inlet outside the room and leaves the system through an outlet on the same side of the room. The fan is labeled as W sub p w. The heat is given off by the whole system consisting of room, radiator and fan at the rate of 5000 kilojoules per hour.
