FINAL INDEPENDENT PROJECT (MATLAB for Mechanical engineers)

AIM: To write a program that will simulate the pendulum motion. use, L=1 metre, m=1 kg, b=0.05. g=9.81 m/s2. Simulate the motion between 0-20 sec, for angular displacement=0,angular velocity=3 rad/sec at time t=0.   THEORY: The following second order ODE represents the equation of motion of a simple pendulum with…

AIM: To create a Rankine Cycle Simulator using MATLAB.   THEORY: What is a Rankine cycle? Rankine cycle is a vapour power cycle commonly found in thermal power plants to generate power. The Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle of a heat engine .It is idealized because the friction losses in each of the…

AIM: To write a function in MATLAB  that extracts the 14 co-efficients and calculates the enthalpy, entropy and specific heats for all the species in the data file (THERMO.dat).   THEORY: The formulas are used to calculate the Specific heat (Cp), Entropy(S) and  Enthalpy(H). Here, R is the universal gas…

AIM: To write a code in MATLAB to optimise the Stalagmite function and find the global maxima of the function.   THEORY: *The following outline summarizes how the genetic algorithm works: The algorithm begins by creating a random initial population. The algorithm then creates a sequence of new populations. At each…

AIM: To write a code in MATLAB to fit a linear and cubic polynomial for the Cp data.    THEORY: Parameters used to measure the fitness characteristics for both the curves: R-square         This quantity measures how successful the fit is in explaining the variation of the data. It is also…

AIM: To write a program in MATLAB that can solve an Otto cycle, create a PV diagram and output the Thermal efficiency of the engine.   THEORY: Formulas used are : Swept volume = (π/4)*bore^2*stroke Clearance volume = swept_volume/(compression_ratio - 1) Ideal gas equation is given by,                     …
