Thus, the Solver says that the optimal cylindrical container is one where the radius equals the height. For the case of the desired V = 0.5 m3, the dimensions are r = h = 0.542 m. The general result of r = h can be verified using calculus as follows. First, we can solve the volume equation for h as h= V r 2 (3)

This can be substituted into the area equation to give A = r 2 + 2r V 2V = r 2 + 2 r r

We can differentiate this equation with respect to r to yield dA 2V = 2r 2 dr r which can be set equal to zero and solved for r=3 V

This result can then be substituted into Eq. 3 which can be solved for h=3 V

Thus, we prove that the optimal container has r = h = (V/)1/3. For our desired volume of 0.5 m3, this means that r = h = (0.5/)1/3 = 0.541926 m, which confirms the result obtained numerically with the Excel Solver. 16.2 (a) The area and volume can be computed as A = r 2 + r r 2 + h 2 (1)

8 we used up all of Y in producing the highly profitable Z1. Thus, there was none left to produce Z3. 16.6 Substitute xB = 1 xT into the pressure equation, (1 xT ) Psat B + xT PsatT = P and solve for xT, xT = P Psat B PsatT Psat B (1)

where the partial pressures are computed as Psat B = 10 PsatT = 10

The solution then consists of maximizing Eq. 1 by varying T subject to the constraint that 0 xT 1. The Excel Solver can be used to obtain the solution. Here is how the worksheet can be set up:

The result is T = 112.8592 as shown below:

First, the function can be plotted versus xA

The result indicates a minimum between 0.5 and 0.6. Using golden section search or a package like Excel or MATLAB yields a minimum of 0.587683. 16.8 This is a case of constrained nonlinear optimization. The conversion factors range between 0 and 1. In addition, the cost function can not be evaluated for certain combinations of XA1 and XA2. The problem is the second term, x 1 A1 x A2 (1 x ) 2 A2

If xA1 > xA2, the numerator will be negative and the term cannot be evaluated. Excel Solver can be used to solve the problem:

Thus, this specific application indicates that a 45o angle yields the minimum wetted perimeter. The verification that this result is universal can be attained inductively or deductively. The inductive approach involves trying several different desired areas in conjunction with our solver solution. As long as the desired area is greater than 0, the result for the optimal design will be 45o. The deductive verification involves calculus. First, Eq. 3 can be solved for d and the result substituted into Eq. 2 to give 1 P = 2 A s + s (4)

The minimum wetted perimeter should occur when the derivative of the perimeter with respect to s flattens out. That is, the slope is zero. Setting the derivative of Eq. 4 to zero yields, 1 1 s2 = 0 1 s+ s

dP = ds

(5)

We can see that the derivative is zero if s = 1. According to Eq. 1, this corresponds to = 45o. Thus, the result obtained numerically is shown to be universal. 16.12 Here is a diagram for this problem:

Then the following Excel worksheet and Solver application can be set up:

Our goal is to minimize the wetted perimeter by varying the depth, side slope and bottom width. We apply the constraint that the computed area must equal the desired area. The result is

Thus, this specific application indicates that a 60o angle yields the minimum wetted perimeter. The verification of whether this result is universal can be attained inductively or deductively. The inductive approach involves trying several different desired areas in conjunction with our solver solution. As long as the desired area is greater than 0, the result for the optimal design will be 60o. The deductive verification involves calculus. First, we can solve Eq. 3 for b and substitute the result into Eq. 2 to give, P= A + d2 1+ s2 s d (4)

If both A and d are constants and s is a variable, the condition for the minimum perimeter is dP/ds = 0. Differentiating Eq. 4 with respect to s and setting the resulting equation to zero,

As can be seen, the result shows that the dimensions for the minimum wetted perimeter correspond to having the bottom width that is twice the length of each vertical side. (b) Now we can redo the problem as a cost minimization: min C = 100 Ac + 50 P Subject to 1 BH BH n B + 2H

or BH = constant ( B + 2 H ) 2 / 5 Therefore, both Ac and P are minimized simultaneously. This is great, because the excavation costs will be proportional to the cross-sectional area.

16.24 This is a trick question. Because of the presence of (1 s) in the denominator, the function will experience a division by zero at the maximum. This can be rectified by merely canceling the (1 s) terms in the numerator and denominator to give T= 15s 4 s 3s + 4

The resulting solution is

16.30 An LP formulation for this problem can be set up as Decision variables: xi = quantity of part i Minimize P = 375 x A + 275 x B + 475 xC + 325 x D subject to 2.5 x A + 1.5 x B + 2.75 xC + 2 x D 640 3.5 x A + 3 x B + 3xC + 2 x D 960 A tool such as the Excel Solver can be used to determine the solution as

Thus, the results indicate that if we produce none of parts A and D and 192 and 128 of B and C, respectively, we will generate a maximum profit of $113,600.
