1. In studies done on the collection of solar energy focusing in a field of plane mirrors on
central collector, the equation for the geometric concentration factor is derived by:
ℎ

𝐶=
0.5 ∗ 𝜋 ∗ 𝐷 2∗(1+sin(𝛼)−0.5∗cos⁡(𝛼))
If the height of the collector h=300, the geometric concentration factor F=0.8 and the
diameter of the collector D=140. Calculate the angle of the edge of the field α=? Applying
the Regula Falsi position method, and Newton Raphson method, with 𝜀 = 0.001. Also
determine which the best is.

4. DeSaints (1976) derived a relationship for the compressibility factor of real gases of the
form:
1 + 𝑦 + 𝑦2 − 𝑦3
𝑧=
(1 − 𝑦)3
With y = b / 4v, where b is the Van der Waals correction and v is the molar volume. If z =
0.892, encode an .m file in which to run and do:
a) The determination of the value of "y" by means of the Secant method, the initial values
must be entered by keyboard with a maximum tolerance of 10-6.
b) Represent on a suitable graph the relationship between the number of iterations and
the absolute error.
c) Make the graphical representation of the variation of the van der Waals correction as a
function of the molar volume in the range of 1000 to 10000 every 250 units.

5. Lee and Duffy (1976) relates the coefficient of friction for the flow of a suspension of
fibrous particles with the Reynolds number using the empirical equation.
1 1 5.6
= ( ) ∗ ln(𝑅𝑒 ∗ √𝑓) + (14 − )
√𝑓 𝑘 𝑘

In their relationship, f is the coefficient of friction, Re is the Reynolds number and k is a

constant determined by the concentration of the suspension. For a suspension with 0.08%
concentration, k is 0.28.
Obtain at least 3 equations of the form x=g(x) by using the convergence criterion of the
fixed point method to determine the value of f if Re=3750.
