I am trying to solve a mathematical model of a heat transfer problem.
As an intermediate step there is a characteristic equation in the form of a determinant, which needs to be solved for variable r
to get three real roots. These roots feed the subsequent steps. However, the roots I get are really small and probably leads to Indeterminate
errors later. I am attaching the entire script below:
Nuc = 5.33; Nuh = 6.49;
mc = 9.305 E - 08; mh = 1.1246 E - 07;
k = 16.27;
vc = (mc/1.138)/(0.5 2 10^-6); vh = (mh/1.225)/(0.25 2 10^-6);
cpc = 1039; cph = 1006.43;
Ac = 2 (0.5 + 2) 10^-6; Ah = 2 (0.25 + 2) 10^-6;
C1 = mc cpc; C2 = mh cph;
hc = Nuc 0.0242/(0.8 10^-3); hh = Nuh 0.0242/(0.444 10^-3);
b1 = hc Ac/C1; b2 = hh Ah/C2;
bc = k (25 1 10^-6)/(1 10^-3 C1);
λ = k (4.5 10^-6)/(25 10^-3 C1);
ν = C1/C2;
bstar = b1 + (b2/ν) + 4 bc;
γ1 = b1/bstar; γ2 = b2/(ν bstar);
γc1 = (2 b1 + 4 bc)/bstar;
γc2 = (2 b2 + 4 ν bc)/(ν bstar);
A = {
{-r + b1 (1 - γ1), b1 γ2, -b1 γc2},
{-b2 γ1, -r - b2 (1 - γ2), b2 γc1},
{r, -r, λ r^2}
};
sol = LinearSolve[Det[A] == 0,r]
r1 = r /. sol[[1]]
r2 = r /. sol[[2]]
r3 = r /. sol[[3]]
G1 = (4 b1 b2 bc +
2 b1 ((b2/ν) +
2 bc) r1)/(4 b1 b2 bc + (((1/ν) - 1) b1 b2 +
4 bc (b1 - b2)) r1 - bstar r1^2);
G2 = (4 b1 b2 bc +
2 b1 ((b2/ν) +
2 bc) r2)/(4 b1 b2 bc + (((1/ν) - 1) b1 b2 +
4 bc (b1 - b2)) r2 - bstar r2^2);
G3 = (4 b1 b2 bc +
2 b1 ((b2/ν) +
2 bc) r3)/(4 b1 b2 bc + (((1/ν) - 1) b1 b2 +
4 bc (b1 - b2)) r3 - bstar r3^2);
H1 = (4 b1 b2 bc -
2 b2 (b1 + 2 bc) r1)/(4 b1 b2 bc + (((1/ν) - 1) b1 b2 +
4 bc (b1 - b2)) r1 - bstar r1^2);
H2 = (4 b1 b2 bc -
2 b2 (b1 + 2 bc) r2)/(4 b1 b2 bc + (((1/ν) - 1) b1 b2 +
4 bc (b1 - b2)) r2 - bstar r2^2);
H3 = (4 b1 b2 bc -
2 b2 (b1 + 2 bc) r3)/(4 b1 b2 bc + (((1/ν) - 1) b1 b2 +
4 bc (b1 - b2)) r3 - bstar r3^2);
Num = {
{((H1 - G1)/r1) E^-r1, ((H2 - G2)/r2) E^-r2, ((H3 - G3)/r3) E^-r3},
{E^-r1, E^-r2, E^-r3},
{1, 1, 1}
};
Den = {
{(H1 E^-r1 - G1)/r1, (H2 E^-r2 - G2)/r2, (H3 E^-r3 - G3)/r3},
{E^-r1, E^-r2, E^-r3},
{1, 1, 1}
};
eff = 1 - (Det[Num]/Det[Den])
Any help in pointing out my error will is appreciated.
The objective is to evaluate eff
.
Eigensystem
$\endgroup$mc = 9.305*10^-8
andmh = 1.1246*10^-7
. Expressing exponentials asmc = 9.305 E - 08; mh = 1.1246 E - 07;
does something very different. $\endgroup$sol = Solve[Det[A] == 0,r]
instead ofLinearSolve
: the equation is not linear. $\endgroup$Det[A]
is-1.42109*10^-14 r - 3569.61 r^2 + 173.143 r^3 + 30.292 r^4
you get four real roots. One of them is zero, which causes Indeterminate in calculating "Num". $\endgroup$
