Q.1.A. A FAMISHED BACTERIUM [10 points]

A bacterium that consumes a nutrient is located in a two dimensional medium (x-y

(2) [4 points] Sketch J with an arrow plot in the  x, y  plane. A qualitative sketch that
correctly indicates the direction and magnitude of the vector field will suffice. [This is a lot
easier if you think about the magnitude and direction of the vector field in the polar co-
ordinate system with a suitably-shifted origin before making the sketch in the  x, y  plane].

Solution:

Use the following transformation x  2  r cos  , y  3  r sin  . This transforms the vector
field to

(3) [2 points] What is the sign of the divergence of the field J at the point (2,3)? Make
an argument based on the arrow plot drawn in part (2). Do not actually calculate the
divergence.

Solution:

Since all the arrows near (2,3) point towards the point (2,3), the field is converging towards
the point (2,3). The divergence, therefore is negative.

Q. 1C. CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION [10 points]

A snack manufacturer sells two kinds of snacks, labeled A and B, at costs of $2.50
per lb and $3.00 per lb respectively. Mixed nuts A contain 30% almonds, 10% cashew
nuts and 15% walnuts and 45% peanuts. Mixed nuts B contain 10% almonds, 20% cashew
nuts, 35% walnuts and 35% peanuts. A nutty customer wants to use mixed nuts A and B to
prepare a new mix for his party by spending as little as possible. This new mix should
contain at least 4 lb of almonds, 5 lb of cashew nuts and 6 lb of peanuts.

You have available to you a solver that can only maximize objective functions. The
solver accepts equality constraints in the form g  x1 , x2 ,, xn   0 , and inequality

constraints in the form h  x1 , x2 ,, xn   0 , where x1, x2, … xn are the decision variables.

Question: Set up the optimization problem for minimizing the cost in a way that can be
fed to the available solver. Identify the decision variables to be optimized, the objective
function and the constraints. (Do not solve the problem! Only set it up). Is this a linear
programming, a quadratic programming or a nonlinear programming problem?

Let x and y be the number of pounds of snack A and snack B that the manufacturer needs to
use to make the new mix. These are the decision variables

Q.3. [20 points] PRESSURE DROP FOR FLOW THROUGH A PIPE

Consider a Newtonian fluid flowing through a straight pipe of length L as shown in the
figure below. The shape of the cross-section of the pipe is arbitrary, but it does not vary
along the length of the pipe. The cross-sectional area of the pipe is Ac, and the perimeter of
the cross-section is T. The axis of the pipe is in the x direction, y and z are the cross-
sectional co-ordinates and the velocity component along the flow direction is u. The flow
is unidirectional, i.e. the velocities in the y and z directions are identically zero.

The momentum equation for fully developed flow is

   u  

Page 13 of 20
Here,  is the viscosity of the fluid, P is the pressure in the fluid, and in this problem, P is a
function only of the axial co-ordinate x. Hence, we write the differential of P with x as a
total derivative, and not a partial derivative.

condition and the momentum equation (3.1), show that the pressure gradient dP / dx

Q.4. [20 points] PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

A pressure transducer consists of a diaphragm that separates two chambers across


which the pressure difference is to be measured. When the pressure difference between the
two chambers is zero, the displacement z (mm) of the diaphragm is zero. But when a non-
zero pressure difference P (N/m2) is applied across the diaphragm, the dynamics of the
diaphragm displacement is given by the following second order ODE:
d 2z dz
2 2
 2  z  K p P .
dt dt

Here,  is the time constant of response of the membrane,  is a damping constant and K p
is a constant related to the mechanical properties of the diaphragm.
For a sensor with   0.002 s,   0.25 and K p  105 mm/(N/m2), the pressure

difference P is changed from 0 to 1.013 105 N/m2. The initial conditions are

4) [2 points] Looking at the results in part 2, does the displacement go monotonically


from 0 towards the expected steady state result in part (3)? If not, report the
‘overshoot’.
Solution:
No, the displacement does not go monotonically from 0 to 1.013. It overshoots this steady
state value before returning to it. The overshoot is 2.049-1.013= 1.036 mm, which is quite
large.
