The integration terms in Eqs. (2.229) or (2.231) and corresponding reaction rate constants fcx are calcnlated by using Simpson s integration method with variable step length after obtaining the above parameters.

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. 

Figure 1-3 Areas Under a Parabolic Arc Covering Two Subintervals of a Simpson s Rule Integration.

The area under a parabolic arc concave upward is bh, where b is the base of the figure and h is its height. The area of a parabolic arc concave downward is jh/t. The areas of parts of the figure diagrammed for Simpson s rule integration are shown in Fig. 1-3. The area A under the parabolic arc in Fig. 1-3 is given by the sum of four terms ...

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. 

In the first pari of this project, the analytical form of the functional relationship is not used because it is not known. Integration is carried out directly on the experimental data themselves, necessitating a rather different approach to the programming of Simpson s method. In the second part of the project, a curve fitting program (TableCurve, Appendix A) is introduced. TableCurve presents the area under the fitted curve along with the curve itself. 

This is not E, i , of course you must find the minimum energy by systematic variation of ot. Alternatively, a QBASIC or TBASIC program can be written to integrate Eq. (6-28) by Simpson s rule. 

This definite integral can be evaluated numerically by the use of Simpson s rule to obtain hr= 0.305 m (1 ft). 

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 nrle normally will be required for this calculation. 

Equation 4.44 is solved using Simpson s Rule to integrate the area of overlap. The method is easily transferred to eomputer eode for high aeeuraey. See Appendix XII for a diseussion of Simpson s Rule used for the numerieal integration of a funetion. Equation 4.44 permits the ealeulation of reliability for any eombinations of distributions for stress and strength provided the partial areas of G and H ean be found. 

Substituting in the parameters for both stress and strength into equation 4.52 and solving using Simpson s Rule (integrating between the limits of 1 and 1000, for example) gives that the reliability is ... 

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 ...

Two simple numerical methods are often used to determine the area under the curve that equals the desired integral. They involve the use of the trapezoidal rule and Simpson s rule.

Another approach is to use Simpson s rule instead of the trapezoidal rule for the integration. With Simpson s rule, three successive points, e.g,, n), are...

For the case where t8 = rp — tp, Equation 13 can be integrated directly to give ITto1al, the total amount of tertiary ion formed. For the other two cases, integration cannot be performed directly, and values of ITtotal were evaluated numerically on a KDF 9 computer, using a procedure for Simpson s rule. (Numerical evaluation of the directly integrable case provided a check on this procedure.) Ip and I8 are then given by...
