    1. Taylor series: How many terms are necessary to guarantee that the Taylor polynomial
    constructed centered at x = 0 is accurate to within 0.05 of the exact value when x = 0.3 for
    f (x) = sin x. 5 Marks

    2. Numericalintegration: If Ω is the region bounded above by the graph of the function


    x2 − 16
    
    x
    f (x) = 9 + and below by the graph of the function g(x) = 6 − . Find the area
    2 2
    of the region Ω analytically and by using Gauss quadrature rule. 5 Marks

    3. FDM/FEM, LU decomposition: Functionally graded materials (FGMs), originally de-


    veloped as thermal barrier coatings for aerospace structures and fusions reactors, however,
    these days, they find widespread applications in various components in transportation, en-
    ergy, electronics, biomedical engineering, to name a few. The FGMs are engineered materials,
    wherein, the material properties are graded from one end to the other. Typical FGMs are
    made of metal and ceramics which offer optimal thermo-mechanical characteristics. Consider
    a functionally graded bar of length L = 1 m, made of Ti-6Al-4V and ZrO2 . Assume that
    the volume fraction of the metallic phase is:
     x p
    Vm = ,
    L
    where L is the length of the domain, p ∈ N and the volume fraction of the ceramic phase is
    given by: Vc = 1−Vm . The temperature at the left end of the bar, x = 0 is maintained at T =
    10. Estimate the steady state temperature distribution in the bar and assume p = 0.5 using
    either FDM/FEM combined with LU decomposition. The effective thermal conductivity is
    given by:  
    1 + 3(κc − κc )Vm (x)
    κ(x) = κc
    3κc + (κm − κc )Vc (x)
    where κm = 18.1 W/mK and κc = 2.036 W/mK are the thermal conductivities of the metallic
    and ceramic phase, respectively. 10 Marks

    4. Time integration: When you light a match, the ball of flame grows rapidly it reaches a
    critical size. Then, it remains at that size, because the amount of oxygen being consumed by
    the combustion in the interior of the ball balances the amount available through the surface.
    The following differential equations models the above phenomena:
    dy
    = y2 − y3, with y(0) = δ
    dt
    where δ is the initial radius of the flame. Use RK4 method.

    • Using the initial radius δ = 0.8 and a step size of h = 0.5, estimate y(x = 1.5). 4 Marks
    • What do you think is the critical size ? 1 Mark

    5. Eigenvalues: Choose the last rows of A and C to give eigenvalues 4,7 and 1,2,3:
     
      0 1 0
    0 1
    A= , C= 0 0 1 .
    ∗ ∗
    ∗ ∗ ∗

    5 Marks

    6. Interpolation: The following data of the velocity of a body is given as a function of time.
    A quadratic Lagrange interpolation is found using the three data points, t = 15, 18 and 22
    s. From this information, at what time in sec, is the velocity of the body 26 m/s?. 5 marks

    Time (s) 10 15 18 22 24
    Velocity (m/s) 22 24 37 25 123
