8- Discuss your results.
Does the phase equation appear reasonable for these data? How would you justify the phase relation Eq. (1)?
Answer:
From the result, we can see that the correlation coefficient (r) in the linear model is close to 1 which shows a very good fit. In the other side, the phase equation seems to fit most of the data spots on its curve. The question is that
which equation, the linear or the phase is more reasonable in this case. If the accuracy is not a big issue, I think the
linear model is enough in this case, however for a sensitive case, if the higher accuracy is required; a more complex
equation such as hyperbolic equation is a better representative of the correlation. Results show that up to a certain
age point, the data lie on the phase curve, but after that the phase equation model does not perform a good
prediction. A question that comes to my mind is that, can we compare the goodness of fit for two models? For
example, here we have a linear and a hyperbolic model with r=0.9959 and r=0.9916 respectively. Are we allowed to
compare these two values to conclude which one is a better prediction model?

7- Discuss your results. How well does the linear model fit the data? What is the physical significance of the
model? What the physical significance of the slope? Would it be appropriate to round off the correlation
coefficient to r=1.00? Why?
Answer:
The linear model has a very high correlation coefficient which shows a very well fit to the data. The linear model shows a good prediction of the response variable, yet it is a simple linear model, easy to plot and analyze. It is not
appropriate to round the correlation coefficient to 1.0 because although the model is a very good one but it is not
perfect. In the other words, r=0.999 does not mean 1.0 and should not be rounded.

4- Select the values of A, b, and c for the optimum r.
Answer: Based on the results of problem 3, we have the below table for the r values:
A r
0.90 0.98929

0.93 0.98949
0.94 0.98949
0.95 0.98944
The correlation coefficient value is desired to be closer to 1.0. According to the above table, r=0.98979
has the larger value and closet to one, thus we consider it as the optimum r. This value corresponds to:
π3 = 0.1105π΄ππ β 5.127
A=0.92,
b = -5.127 (-5.88, -4.374) c = 0.1105 (0.09435, 0.1266)

7- Discuss your results.
Answer:
I tried to fit Eq.1 to Age and F data set using MATLAB to find out the constants, b & c. The fit
equation was then calculated as below:
General model:
F(Age) = 0.92/(1+exp(b-c*Age)) Coefficients (with 95% confidence bounds):
b = 0.402
c = -9.724
Goodness of fit: SSE: 2.024
R-square: -2.834
The results show that this model is not capable of fitting this data set and cannot be considered as a
prediction model for this data. Converting the F values to linear values which has resulted the Z values
seems to have solved this problem. We can see from the results that a simple linear regression model with a very good correlation coefficient is capable to fit the data.
Using the b and c constant from the linear model, I plotted Eq.1 which appears to better fit the F data,
however it is still not a good prediction because for instance, at Age=65 the given value for F is 0.8 while the value from the prediction model is around 0.92!

Table 1: Data source, Snail population (P) with elapsed time (t) for a fish aquarium.
Assume that population growth follows the logistic model
π· =π¨
π + πππ π β ππ
Where t is elapsed time since snails were introduced, wk; P is the number of snails at time t; A is
the maximum number for large time; b is the intercept parameter; and c is the response coefficient,
wk-1. Now Eq. (1) can be rearranged to the linear form:
π = βππ π¨
π·β π = ππ β π
Calculation of values of Z requires an estimate of parameter A.

For the data corresponding to A=2500 and area=4500 cm2, the coefficients b and c are 3.179 and 0.9364

For the data corresponding to A=6000 and area=930000 cm2, the coefficients b and c are 4.077 and
0.9353 respectively. Therefore Eq. (1) can be written as:

7. Discuss your results. How well does the model describe the data? Is the linearization
procedure justified? How could estimates of the parameters be improved? Explain the
effect of surface area on the parameters.
Answer:
The model is a very strong one in predicting the response variable and describing data. Yes, the
linearization procedure is justified because it helped to accurately estimate the b and c coefficients through a simple procedure. This estimation is very accurate as it leaded to a very high correlation
coefficient, very close to 1, however the estimation of the parameters could be improved through non-
linear procedure or with fitting more data.
As the area has increased from 4500 cm2 to 6000 cm2, the values of P have increased too. In the other
word, the surface area has a positive effect on the values of P but a negative effect on the values of Z for
t<10.

Answer: In order for Equation 2 to satisfy Equation 1, it should be the solution to Eq. (1). In a simply case, if

From the previous results, we found out that after 36 terms, the series value become 0.9912. It can be
seen from this result that the speed at which the above series converges is fast in the first terms but then it
becomes slow. This might be due to the oscillation behavior of the series which was originally resulted
from the positive and negative signs of Sine and Cosine functions that add and subtract terms in order to
converge to 1. This behavior is shown in the general sequence of the series through (-1)n .

3. Discuss your results.
Answer:
This is a first order response, the response value stats at zero at time equal to zero and goes to its maximum or steady state level one when time goes to infinity (at t equal to 10, the response value is
almost one). The values of V and Q plays important role in identifying the value of k and the response
behavior (fast or slow). With the given values, it almost takes about 5 seconds for the response to
significantly get close to its maximum value. The magnitude of the transient response reduces to zero as times goes to infinity. At t=2.3, the system has shown to be responded to 90% of its input function.

Performing linear regression on v/k vs. v yields the below results: Linear model Poly1: (y = p1*x + p2)
Coefficients (with 95% confidence bounds):
p1 = 93.87 (67.26, 120.5)

For this equation, the value for slope (1/a) is 93.87 and the value for intercept (b/a) is 17.59.
A different approach is to directly fit the hyperbolic equation (k =av
b+v) using the v and k data points. This was
done using MATLAB curve fitting toolbox. Below is the result which is pretty much close to the previous results.

6. Discuss your results. What is the upper limit on k?
Does k vs. v approach a straight line as π π ?

Answer:
The upper limit on k from the data points is 0.009 and from the curve equation is almost 0.01 (min-1

9. How do these results compare to those of Figures 9 and 10 of the 1976 article?
Answer:
In Figure 9 of the 1976 article, dependence of adsorption coefficient on pore velocity shows that the values of R
decrease as velocity increases. This relationship is similar to the relationship between ka/kd vs. flow velocity (v)
shown in Figures 10, 12, 13 and 15. In Figure 10 of the 1976 article, dependence of kinetic rate constant (k) on pore velocity shows values of k increase as velocity increase. The relationship seems to have a curvature trend.
Similar relationship between coefficients for adsorption (Ka), desorption (Kd), and reaction (Kr) vs. flow
velocity (v) is shown in Figures 1,2 and 3. The curvature behavior for each of these relationships was calculated and is summarized below (Eq. I, II and III). High correlation coefficients (r1=0.9956, r2=0.9033, r3=0.9945)
admits this result and indicates strong relationship. It was also shown that similar relationship exists between K
and flow velocity (Eq. IV below).

Eq. IV
10. Discuss your results.
Answer: Plots of (Ka), (Kd), and (Kr ) vs. v first showed positive (increasing) curvature trend between data. (Figure 1, 2
and 3). Assuming that this relationships can be illustrated and would follow hyperbolic equations, linearization
procedure was used to obtain equation constant parameters (a and b) for individual relationship between
adsorption, desorption and reaction (Kr) vs. flow velocity. Plot of calculated hyperbolic equations on the coefficients ((Ka), (Kd), and (Kr )) vs. v data as well as the high values of correlation coefficient confirmed our
initial assumption.
Calculating values of ka/kd, a negative (decreasing) curvature trend was observed. Once again, hyperbolic equation was assumed and constant parameters were obtained. This time, results also confirmed our
assumption.
Lastly, values of K= kr (ka/kd) was calculated and plotted vs. v. A positive (increasing) curvature trend was
observed which was similar to the Figure 10 of article 1976. As a general result, it can be stated that the all of these coefficients (k) values has and very well follow hyperbolic relationship with the flow velocity in the given
data range (0, 1).

3- How do these results compare to Figure 2 of Overman and Scholtz (1999)?
Answer: Comparison of results of this homework versus Figure 2 of Overman and Scholts (1999) are shown in Figure
below. As it can be seen, increasing value of S from 47.1mgL-1 in Overman (1999) to 220mgL-1 in this
homework decreases the solution P concentration from approximately 52.5mgL-1 to 3.84mgL-1.

4- Compare the values of ka, S0, kd and kr.
Answer: The three values of ka, S0, kd and kr are the same in this homework and what has presented in Overman and
Scholtz (1999) work.
5- How does the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model explain the rapid drop in P with time during the initial
phase?
Answer:
The Langmuir-Hinshelwood model provides excellent simulation of batch kinetics for this system. The most
important concern in utilizing this model is being careful in choosing Ξt which is required for this system of
equations. Different values of Ξt leads to different results which in some cases divergence occur.
6- For the case of large S0 and small P0, is it reasonable to treat S as a constant? Explain.
Answer:
Yes, it is reasonable. To test this, the value of S0 was selected 2200 and small P0 was set at 1.8. The results
showed that after 3 n points, the values of S became constant and equal to 2198.2. This is due to the nature of
the model and algorithm used to determine the answer. According to below:
Sn = S0 β An
π΄π+1 = π΄π + (ππ΄
ππ‘)π(βπ‘π)
ππ΄
ππ‘== βkaSP β kdπ΄ β krπ΄
When S0 is very large and P0 is very small, the values of A0 also becomes small as number of n points increase,
which leads to small difference between S and S0.

ππ= 0
π π, 0 = 1

Plot of different values of π vs. π is consistent with the plot shown in Figure 1, 2 and 3 of this homework.

It appears from results that temperature change with time is smooth, without the jump that appear in the explicit
method.
Ramin Shamshiri ABE 6986, HW #11 Due 11/21/08
4- How does the temperature at i=5 change with time?
Answer: Temperature at x=0.5 decreases as values of j (time) increases as observed from Figure 2 and 3. We also
observe symmetry in T about x=0.5 for all times. This arises from symmetry in the initial and boundary
conditions and the assumption of a uniform conductor.

2. Discuss the results for each case.
a. Does the response oscillate?
b. Does the response converge to a single value?
c. Does the response alternate between multiple values? If so, what the values?
d. Is the behavior chaotic (non repeating pattern) for any case?
Answer:
For the first case (βπ = π. π), the response value starts from 0.145 at n=1 and grows up such that after 9 steps it becomes close to one, (equal to 0.910485605457614) which shows a convergence behavior. This
pattern can be confidently stated when after 57 steps when the value of response exactly becomes 1. After
this step, the response value remains on 1 and does not change. Since the pattern does not repeat, the behavior can be considered chaotic (Non-repeating pattern). Figure 1.
Figure 1: Response behavior for the first case; (βπ = 0.5).
Ramin Shamshiri ABE 6986, MIDTERM EXAM Due 10/03/08
For the second case (βπ = π. π), the response value starts from 0.19 at n=1 and grows up very fast. After
just 8 steps, the response value becomes very close to one, (exactly equal to 0.999999999998068). In the 9
th step, the response value becomes exactly one and does not change any more. The response behavior
for this case is also convergence to a single value which is one. The response behavior for this case can
also be considered chaotic since the pattern does not repeat. Figure 2.
Figure 2: Response behavior for the first case; (βΟ=1.0).
For the third case (βπ = π. π), the response value starts from 0.235 at n=1 and overshoot to one at n=4, then shows a short oscillation around 1but becomes stable again. For this case, the response also
converges to one (although not very exactly) however it showed a very short oscillation. The behavior
may also be considered chaotic because the pattern does not repeat in this case too. Figure 3.

Figure 3: Response behavior for the first case; (βΟ=1.5).
In the 4th case, (βπ = π. π), the response value starts from 0.298 at n=1 and in just two steps overshot to
1.16, then in the next step it becomes 0.748 and then becomes 1.16 again. This pattern remains in the next
steps as well. In this case, the response does not converge, but it oscillate between two values, 1.1628 and
0.7462. The response does not alternate between multiple values, it just oscillate between two values. The
behavior is not chaotic, because the pattern is just oscillating (period two). Figure 4.
Figure 4: Response behavior for the first case; (βΟ=2.2).
Ramin Shamshiri ABE 6986, MIDTERM EXAM Due 10/03/08
In the 5th cases, (βΟ = 2.5), the response oscillate between four values (does not converge). Yes the
response alternate between multiple values (four values) which are 1.157, 0.7012, 1.22, and 0.535. In this case, the behavior is not chaotic. It is just alternating periodically (period 4). Figure 5.
Figure 5: Response behavior for the first case; (βΟ=2.5).
In the 5th cases, (βΟ = 2.55), the response oscillate between four values (does not converge). Yes the
response alternate between multiple values (eight values) which are 1.1523, 0.7047, 1.2353, 0.4939,
1.1313, 0.7523, 1.2274, 0.5154. In this case, the behavior is not chaotic. It is just alternating periodically (period 8). Figure 6.

3. What does this procedure illustrate about the logistic differential equation?
Answer:
First of all, it should be noted that ππ
ππβ
ββ
βπ= β 1 β β is the discrete dimensionless form of
Verhulst-Pearl population model. It models real situation for population growth in which
population cannot increase indefinitely due to limitations. The procedure β π+1 = β π +ππ (π, β )βππ shows that the model is a function of π πππ β .
For the value of βπ = 0.5 πππ βπ = 1.0 the response showed convergence behavior. For
βπ = 1.5 a slight displacement from the stationary state showed up, however it leaded to
convergence (stable) behavior again. Chaotic behavior started to show up for values of βπ > 1.5
and caused the response to diverge. It is interesting to note that for βπ = 2.2 the response is
oscillating between two values but for βπ = 2.5 and βπ = 2.55 it is oscillating between four and
eight values respectively. In fact, for a certain value of βπ, chaotic behavior will appear where
there is not a repeating cycle.
