    MATLAB: Introduction

    Part 2 – Assignment
    Bruno Abreu Calfa

    Assigned: September 13th


    Due: September 22nd

    This assignment will not be graded; therefore, it is optional. Use it as a form of exercising
    what we covered in class. It is recommended that you create a function or script M-file with
    code cells corresponding to the problems and/or their parts (let us call it main M-file). This
    function or script can then call other M-files or subfunctions. Publish your main M-file to
    HTML. Finally, compress all the necessary files into a .zip or .tar file and e-mail it to me
    at [email protected].

    Problem 1
    You are given a 4-D array, y = randn(2,3,40,12). Do the following operations:
    Comment 1: What is the difference between the functions rand and randn?
    Comment 2: For convenience, the key will not show the resulting y array after the assign-
    ments. Focus on the array slicing part instead.

    (a)
    Retrieve all elements of the first page and chapter. What are the resulting dimensions?

    (b)
    Retrieve all elements until half the number of pages of the 5th chapter. What are the resulting
    dimensions?

    (c)
    Assign the value of e (Euler’s number) to row 1, columns 1 and 2, pages 1 through 10, and
    chapters 3 through 5.

    1
    (d)
    Assign the matrix ones(3,40) to row 2, columns 1 through 3 (all columns), pages 1 through
    40 (all pages), and chapter 12. Is this operation allowed? Use a try-catch block to catch
    any possible exception.

    (e)
    Assign the matrix eye(3) to all rows, all columns, page 15, and chapter 1. Is this operation
    allowed? Use a try-catch block to catch any possible exception.

    Problem 2
    Calculate the sum:
    N
    X 1 1
    +
    i=1
    i (i + 2)(i + 3)
    where N = 50.

    Problem 3
    Create an 8-by-8 Hilbert matrix.
    1
    Hint: A Hilbert matrix has its entries of the form Hij = .
    i+j−1

    Problem 4
    Create the following piecewise function:


     0, x<0

    x, 0≤x≤1
    f (x) =
    2 − x,
     1≤x≤2


    0, x>2

    Plot f (x) for x ∈ [−3, 3].

    Problem 5
    A simple Equation of State (EOS) is van der Waals’ equation given by:

    RT a
    P = − 2
    V −b V

    2
    where P is the pressure, V is the molar volume, T is the temperature, R is the universal gas
    constant, a and b are parameters that provide a measure of the attraction between molecules
    and the volume excluded by a mole of molecules, respectively.
    In addition, the parameters can be calculated as follows:

    a = 3Pc Vc2
    Vc
    b=
    3
    where Pc is the critical pressure and Vc is the critical molar volume.
    Plot a 3-D surface with contours of P as a function of V and T for methane. In a
    separate figure, plot four isotherms (constant temperature curves). Some data for methane
    are as follows:
    Pc 46.4 bar
    Vc 99 × 10−6 m3 mol−1
    Also, R = 8.314472 × 10−5 m3 bar K−1 mol−1 .
    The temperatures for the isotherms are:

    T1 100 K
    T2 190 K
    T3 250 K
    T4 400 K
