Several related rorles or algorithms for numerical integration (rectangular mle, trapezoidal rule, etc.) are described in applied mathematics books, but we shall rely on Simpson s mle. This method can be shown to be superior to the simpler rules for well-behaved functions that occur commonly in chemistry, both functions for which the analytical form is not known and those that exist in analytical form but are not integrable. 

The integral of the Gaussian distribution function does not exist in closed form over an arbitrary interval, but it is a simple matter to calculate the value of p(z) for any value of z, hence numerical integration is appropriate. Like the test function, f x) = 100 — x, the accepted value (Young, 1962) of the definite integral (1-23) is approached rapidly by Simpson s rule. We have obtained four-place accuracy or better at millisecond run time. For many applications in applied probability and statistics, four significant figures are more than can be supported by the data. 

The limits of integration are from the expected minimum value of yield strength, xos = 272.4 MPa to 1000 MPa, representing oo. The solution of this equation numerically using Simpson s Rule is described in Appendix XII. For the case when d = 20 mm and the number of load applications n = 1000, the reliability, 7 , is found to be ... 

This scheme has tight connections with the Simpson s rule for numerical integration. 

Numerical Integration. Using Simpson s rule, applicable to an even number of uniformly spaced intervals on the axis, we find for the data of Table E5.4,... 

The source of mass, M, could be a function of t, or could be a steady value. The solution to equation (E2.6.2) is normally found with a numerical integration routine using integration techniques such as Simpson s rule. 

By numerical integration we can use Simpson s rule to evaluate the data in columns 1 and 5 of Table 5.5. 

Using Simpson s rule or some other appropriate numerical integration technique, determine the area under the curve obtained from step (3). From the area, the required value for the tower characteristic (KaV/L) can be determined. 

A more accurate method of numerical integration is by the use of Simpson s rule. This method, however, requires that the integration range be divided into an even number of intervals of equal width h. This requires an odd number of points on the abscissa, which are numbered from 0 to n. Simpson s rule gives... 

Numerical integration of a variable / measured at a set of equally spaced values of the independent variable x. The integral 7(1,7) = [ydx is approximated with both the trapezoidal rule (a) and Simpson s one-third rule b). In each case, the value of Y is given by the area under the heavy lines. The light lines in b) represent extensions of the three parabolic sections that are used to construct this approximation. 

Some quadrature formula, such as Simpson s rule, gives the solution faster than does numerical integration of the differential equation by a general method. 

Evaluation of the integral in Eq. (14-86) requires a knowledge of the liquid-phase bulk concentration of B as a function of y. This relationship is obtained by means of a material balance around the tower, as shown in Eq. (14-73). Numerical integration by a quadrature method such as Simpson s rule normally will be required for this calculation. 

In situations where one cannot assume that and Hql are constant, these terms need to be incorporated inside the integrals in Eqs. (14-24) and (14-25), and the integrals must be evaluated numerically (using Simpson s rule, for example). In the normal case involving stripping without chemical reactions, the liquid-phase resistance will dominate, making it preferable to use Eq. (14-25) together with the approximation Hl Hql-... 

Spreadsheet Summary In the first experiment in Chapter 11 of Applications of Microsoft Excel in Analytical Chemistry, numerical integration methods are investigated. These methods are used to determine the charge required to electrolyze a reagent in a controlled-potential coulometric determination. A trapezoidal method and a Simpson s rule method are studied. From the charge, Faraday s law is used to determine the amount of analyte. 

This result is known as Simpson s rule, which provides a very simple and convenient way to perform numerical integration. 

Programs for numerical integration using, for example, Simpson s rule are readily available for personal computers and hand-held calculators. Simplify (he form of eqn 24.40 by writing... 

So far, we have assumed that the integrand function was known so that it could be evaluated at the required points. Most of the applications of numerical integration in physical chemistry are to integrals where the integrand function is not known exactly, but is known only approximately from experimental measurements at a few points on the interval of integration. If there are an odd number of data points that are equally spaced, we can apply Simpson s rule.
