Problem was the determination of oil film thickness on plate X 2
Third Order Differential Equation Was Analyzed • is treated as a constant. • df is not known, and needs to be solved for. 3
Runge-Kutta Method for Systems of Differential Equations Selected • Third Order DE transformed into 3 First Order Differential Equations. 4
Initial Conditions Are Required For Analysis • Initial guess of df is required (iteration necessary). • Equations not valid at x=0, therefore approximation necessary. • (0.0001) is guessed for initial condition. • ’(0.0001) and ’’(0.0001) are determined numerically. 5
Initial Conditions For (x)Became Roadblock For Accurate Results • Solution should have the following output • = f • ’ = 0 • ’’ > 0 • Despite variation of initial conditions for (0.0001), no solution with all of above 3 conditions could be found. • Closest estimate with ’ = 0 produced over 2000% error. 6
