Assignment Due and Submission Instructions
End of Week 6 Sunday 23.59, 10 Nov. You must submit the completed assignment to the relevant ACS6101 MOLE page, via Turnitin, as a single document Part APart B. You must include your registration number at the top of every page. Your report should be word processed, using minimum size font 11, minimum 2.5cm margins all around.
Penalties for Late Submission
Late submissions will incur the usual penalties of a 5 reduction in the mark for every working day or part thereof that the assignment is late and a mark of zero for submission more than 5 working days late. For more information see http:www.shef.ac.ukssidexamspolicies.
Feedback
No later than 23 weeks after the submission deadline. The feedback will include the overall mark, individual component marks as well as written comments on performance on the assignment electronic format. You will also have the opportunity for onetoone feedback. General feedback on the whole class performance will also be provided via email and on MOLE. Note that final marks may be subject to change as a result of unfair means.
Unfair Means
The assignment should be completed individually. You should not discuss the assignment with other students and should not work together in completing the assignment. The assignment must be wholly your own work. References must be provided to any other work that is used as part of this assignment. Any suspicions of the use of unfair means will be investigated and may lead to penalties. See http:www.shef.ac.ukssidexamsplagiarism for more information.
Special Circumstances
If you have medical or personal circumstances which cause you to be unable to submit this assignment on time or that may have affected your performance, please complete and submit a special circumstances form along with documentary evidence of the circumstances. See: http:www.shef.ac.ukssidformsspecial
particularly noting point 6 Medical Circumstances affecting ExaminationsAssessment.
Help
This assignment briefing, the lecture notes, and the laboratory handouts all available on MOLE provide all the information that is required to complete this assignment. It is not expected that you should need to ask further questions. Remember that you need to decide on what is the most appropriate approach to carry out the simulations and present your results. This is also part of what you are being assessed on and will assess your knowledge and understanding of the taught material for ACS6101. However, if you need clarifications on the assignment then please feel free to email the relevant lecturer.
You must complete both parts of the assignment !
Part A 25 of overall module markcontent from Week 1
Marking Criteria: Apportioned Marks for questions are Q1: 40 Q2: 60
In doing the assignment Part A, you should be prepared to use the MatLab help system and the course notes, and to do some of your own research to learn about functions or features you may need.
Your answers should consist of the code used to solve the problem and example output where appropriate. Graphs or pictures should be saved in .png format. The code should be headed with comments that include the title, description of the purpose of the code and an explanation that guides the reader through the workings of the code. Comments should also include the question number, your name and the date the code was finished. There is no limit to code length, but the work should not require more than 2030 lines of code for each problem.
Put all of your code, output and plots into a report PDF file format which you will
submit via Turnitin, as a single document Part APart B. Your codes must also be submitted as separate .m files MatLab scripts and function to Dr. V. Fedun via email : v.fedunsheffield.ac.uk.
You may discuss with other students how to approach each problem, but you must write all your own code and all your own report. Your submission will be checked for plagiarism using turnitin.
For each question, marks will be awarded for:
the quality of your description;
whether your code runs or not;
elegance and design show that you have thought about the best way to
solve the problem;
simplicity and clarity simple and clear is better, sensible variable names,
formatting, comments etc.;
readability description, indenting, presentation, comments etc;
correctness giving exactly the right answers;
consistency.
Question 1
Write a script to do the following:
a create the following matrices and vector y:
2 4.1 2 3 2 1.1 2 3.3 4.1 2 5 8.1
1 3 2.2 1.5
1 3 9 2
5 8 4 3 10 16 8 6 2 3 1 8
1 y 2 2
4
b in well presented way and with some attempt to guard against poor user input, ask the user to choose one of the matrices and assign it to a variable A.
c if the determinant of A is nonzero, find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A and the solution x to the equation Axy, or display an appropriate message otherwise
clear the workspace and command window at the start of each run and output all results to the command window.
Question 2
Differential equations to model the HIRES reaction problem1 are:
0234 5 8
1.710.438.3200.007 1.718.75
10.0300.4320.0353
8.321.7101.122
1.74530.4340.435
280460.6921.7130.4340.695 280461.815
280461.815
a Create a function called HIRES.
The function should have two input args ordered like this: t, x.
The function should return one output arg a 8×1 sized vector called xdot computed within
the body of the function using the equations above.
Note: The arg t is unused within the function but is necessary to be in the arg list if HIRES is passed to one of Matlabs ode solvers.
b Write a script that …
calls the Matlab function ode45, using your HIRES function as an input, to obtain a
solution over a time interval 0 to 300 seconds, with initial conditions 1, 0, 00,20,30,40,50,60.0057. Make your call ofode45for the function HIRES in anonymous function style rather than as a string. See matlab help for guidance.
Use the options arg with your solver to set RelTol to 1e3 and AbsTol to 1e 6.
Use tic and toc to find the execution time for the ode45 call and save to a suitably named variable.
c Add to your script to repeat the task again, only this time use ode15s.
d Further add to your script to …
Plot the eight returned components of xdot from your ode45 call in one set of axes in a
subplot, and the eight returned components of xdot from your ode15s call in another
subplot, arranging the subplots one above the other in the same figure.
Use a logarithmic xaxis.
Label the axes as Concentration for the y axis assume units are moldm3, Time for the x
axis assume units are seconds, and add a legend placed northeast within each plot to
identify the eight reagents.
Set the figure to occupy the left half of full screen when the script is run.
Create a twoline title for each plot, giving the title of the plot in line 1 and the execution
speed, and AbsTol, RelTol values on the second line. Make the second line of the title blue colour and fontsize 9.
e Further add to your script to produce a second figure and
In the second figure make eight subplots eight rows, one column and in each subplot
overlay a plot of the first 100 points of data obtained from ode45 and ode15s.
Plot ode15s as a green line and ode45 as black dots.

Give each subplot a title, axes labels and a legend.
Set the figure to occupy the right half of full screen when the script is run.
Part B 25 of overall module markcontent from Week 2
THIS PART OF THE ASSIGNMENT MUST BE COMPLETED IN 8 SIDES OF A4 PAPER. NO MARKS WILL BE AWARDED FOR SOLUTIONS BOYOND THE LIMIT OF 8 SIDES.
This assignmentreport will assess your fundamental understanding of systems modelling and simulation, including basic use of MATLABSimulink. The assignment is based on content from Week 2, part of ACS6101
