How to integrate this function numerically?

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello everyone,
I'm stuck at this equation and I want to integrate it numerically
where
and r = 695510, a = -0.0021, b = 1.34, Wo = 438.1
I need to integrate the first equation numerically to get V as a function of R
Numerical integration from R = 10, where it is assumed V = U, to 215 should give V(R).
I appreciate your help.
Thank you,

Is e the base of the natural logarithms? And is it acting as a constant multiplier or is e being raised to the part after it?

Yes that's right, it's the base of the natural logarithm and it's being raised to the part after it.

You can use Euler formula. V(n+1)=V(n)+h*f(R,V(n)), which f(R,V) is the right side of differential equation.
But you need to know the initial value V(10).
r=695510;a=-0.0021;b=1.34;Wo=438.1;
h=0.1;%Integral step size, you can change this value
N=100;%It means that you want to integral from 10 to 10+h*N
V=zeros(1,N+1);%Initialization V array
V(1)=?;%Need to know the initial value V(10)
for n=1:N
R=10+(n-1)*h;
W=Wo*sqrt(1-exp(1)*(2.8-R)/8.1);
V(n+1)=V(n)+h*r*a*R^(-b)*(1-W/V(n));
end
X=10+(0:N)*h;
Y=V;
plot(X,Y);

result_V=zeros(1,length(Vtest));% save last V for every Vtest
result_t=zeros(1,length(Vtest));% save last t for every Vtest
for i=1:length(Vtest) %for every Vtest
V=zeros(1,N+1);
V(1)=Vtest(i);
%do the computing
result_V=V(end); %using end to index last value of array V
result_t=t(end); %using end to index last value of array t
end
