MTE-14 : MATHEMATICAL. MODELLING

Time : 2 hours Maximum Marks : 50

Note : Attempt any five questions. All questions carry equal

marks. Use of calculator is not allowed.

1. (a) A particle moves in a straight line and its 4

velocity at a distance x from the origin is

14a2— x 2 , where k and a are constants.

Prove that the motion is simple harmonic
and find the amplitude and the periodic
time of the motion.
(b) The heat emission rate associated with a 2
stack gas is 5000kJ/s, the wind and stack
gas speeds are 5 and 10 m/s, respectively,
and the inside stack diameter at the top is
3m. Estimate the plum rise by means of the
Moses and Carson formula.

(c) Consider the arterial blood viscosity 4

p, = 0.027 poise. If the length of the artery is
3 cm and radius 9 x 10 -3 cm and pressure
difference (P1 — P2) is 5 x 10 3 dynes/cm2,
then.
Find the velocity u(y) and maximum
peak velocity of blood.
Find the Shear Stress at the wall.

2. (a) Write (i) The diffusion equation with 3

diffusion coefficient k and (ii) the wave
equation with wave velocity C. Find the
dimensions of k and C using these equations.
(b) Consider the following system of differential
equations representing a prey and predator
population model.

dx 2
-c1 =x —Y

dy =x+y.
dt

Identify all the real critical points of

the system of equations given above
Obtain the type and stability of these
critical points.

3. (a) Formulate the initial boundary value 5

problem for the temperature T in a
cylindrical rod with insulated sides and with
00 flat ends at x=0 and x=L, the end at x=0 is
-14 kept at 60°C. The end at x=L is insulated.
00
At time t=0, the temperature distribution
throughout the rod is f (x), 0<x<L. Assume
no internal heat generation.
[Hint : Heat flux across an insulated
boundary is zero, that is grad T.n = 0, where
n is normal to the boundary]
Find the steady state solution of the problem 3
formulated in Q3 (a) above.
Define discrete and continuous models, 2
giving an example of each.

4. (a) The respiratory flow of air in the lungs is 2

affected due to air pollution. If you have to
model respiratory flow write four essentials
for the model.
(b) A Cassette player repairman finds that the 4
time spent on his jobs has an exponential
distribution with mean 15 minutes. If he
repairs sets in the order in which they came
in, and if the arrival of sets is approximately
Poisson with an average rate of 18 per
9-hours a day, what is repairman's expected
idle time each day? How many jobs are
ahead of the set just brought in?

MTE-14 3 P.T.O.
 (c) Solve the equation of motion 4
2
° + g0=0
dt2
of a simple pendulum of length 1 making an
angle 0 with the vertical, subject to the
dO
conditions 0= 0 and — = w at time t=0. At
dt
what time, is the angular velocity of the
pendulum maximum? Here g is the
acceleration due to gravity.

(a) State Kepler's third law of motion. Using

dimensional analysis, show that the planets
obey Kepler's third law.
(b) The cost of production of a substance per
unit is given by the formula C = q 2 — 4q + 1,
where q is the material cost. Find the selling
price per unit, so that the profit on 100 units
will be Rs.200, if q = 15. Also calculate the
cost of material per unit so that profit on
100 units can be maximised, if the selling
price is Rs. 200.

(a) A projectile is fired with a constant speed v

at two different angles of projection a and
13 such that it gives the same range. Show
that
cosec a = sec13.

Two players A and B are involved in a game. 4

Each player has three different strategies.
The pay-off table is given below.

5 –7 –171
A 4 6 –15
9 10 –13

Find the Saddle point and value of the game.

Imagine a population governed by the 3
logistic equation
dx

x
dt 2 1 – 100 x.

(i) Find the equilibrium level of this
population.
Initially (t=0) the population is 100
and it remains at this level till t=10,
when an epidemic perturbs the
population down to 80. Find the
population at t=15.

7. (a) For a rain drop of diameter d = 0.25 cm find 2

the terminal velocity. How long the drop
takes to reach the ground if it starts its
descent in a cloud 5000 m high?
(b) Write two limitations for Prey-Predator 2
Model.
