MATLAB Tutorial - Numerical Methods for Chemical Engineering
Content Inside:
This tutorial will guide you learn how to solve the partial differential equations that describe momentum, energy, and mass transfer, integrate the ordinary differential equations that model a chemical reactor, and simulate the dynamics and predict the minimum-energy structures of molecules. These problems are expressed in terms of mathematical operations such as partial differentiation and integration that computers do not understand. All that they know how to do is store numbers at locations in their memory and perform simple operations on them like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation. A computer understands how to do the operations found in this system (multiplication and addition), and we can represent this set of equations very generally by the matrix equation Ax = b, where A={aij} is the matrix of coefficients on the left hand side, x is the solution vector, and b is the vector of the coefficients on the right hand side. This tutorial divided into 8 chapters as follow: Chapter 1: Basic MATLAB Commands, Chapter 2: Programming Structures, Chapter 3: Basic Graphing Routines, Chapter 4: Advanced Matrix Operations, Chapter 5: File Input/Output, Chapter 6: Writing and Calling Functions, Chapter 7: Data Structures and Input Assertion, Chapter 8: MATLAB Compiler.
