solution giving me imaginary answers.. Help me with this.

syms x1 x2 A gamma1 gamma2 y1 y2 P P1sat P2sat T

eqn1= P1sat==exp(16.59158 -(3643.31/(T -33.424)));

eqn2= P2sat==exp(14.25326 -(2665.54/(T -53.424)));

eqn3= x1*gamma1*P1sat==y1*P;

eqn4= x2*gamma2*P2sat==y2*P;

eqn5= y1-0.6==0;

eqn6= y1+y2-1==0;

eqn7= x1+x2==1;

eqn8= T==318.15;

eqn9= A==2.771-(0.00523*T);

eqn10= log(gamma1)==A*(x2.^2);

eqn11= log(gamma2)==A*(x1.^2);

solution=solve(eqn1,eqn2,eqn3,eqn4,eqn5,eqn6,eqn7,eqn8,eqn9,eqn10,eqn11);

p1sat=vpa(solution.P1sat)

p2sat=vpa(solution.P2sat)

p=vpa(solution.P)

Gamma1=vpa(solution.gamma1)

Gamma2=vpa(solution.gamma2)

Y1=vpa(solution.y1)

Y2=vpa(solution.y2)

X1=vpa(solution.x1)

X2=vpa(solution.x2)

You've asked this same question in subtly different forms how many times so far now? What leads you to conclude that only real solutions exist to any problem you might pose? Do you even know that the equations you wrote are consistent with real solutions?

I might add that at least 4 (actually 6) of the equations you wrote are trivial, equivalent to setting a variable to some constant.

Answer 1

[John D'Errico]

To be more clear, equations 5,6,8,9 merely establish the value of y1,y2,T,A.

eqn5= y1-0.6==0;
eqn6= y1+y2-1==0;
eqn8= T==318.15;
eqn9= A==2.771-(0.00523*T);

I might as well have written:

y1 = 0.6;
y2 = 0.4;
T = 318.5;
A = 2.771-(0.00523*T);

And if you know T, then you also have P1sat and P2sat.

P1sat = exp(16.59158 -(3643.31/(T -33.424)));
P2sat = exp(14.25326 -(2665.54/(T -53.424)));

That leaves us with x1, x2, gamma1, gamma2 and P.

syms x1 x2 gamma1 gamma2 P
eqn3 = x1*gamma1*P1sat==y1*P;
eqn4 = x2*gamma2*P2sat==y2*P;
eqn7 = x1+x2 == 1;
eqn10 = log(gamma1)==A*(x2.^2);
eqn11 = log(gamma2)==A*(x1.^2);

sol = solve(eqn3,eqn4,eqn7,eqn10,eqn11,x1,x2,gamma1,gamma2,P)

I fail to see the problem?

Thnx for the info... but i managed to get my answer. Although My Questions are from same project but are unique comparetively.Since i am new to this software its not a childsplay for me... Hope u understand.

try to solve by 1stOpt:

code

Parameter x1 x2 A gamma1 gamma2 y1 y2 P P1sat P2sat T;
Function
P1sat=exp(16.59158 -(3643.31/(T -33.424)));
P2sat=exp(14.25326 -(2665.54/(T -53.424)));
x1*gamma1*P1sat=y1*P;
x2*gamma2*P2sat=y2*P;
y1-0.6=0;
y1+y2-1=0;
x1+x2=1;
T=318.15;
A=2.771-(0.00523*T);
ln(gamma1)=A*(x2^2);
ln(gamma2)=A*(x1^2);
