Develop a software application which solves, based on the Euler method, the system of ordinary differential equations which describes the gas accumulation process in a series of three tanks, as presented in Fig. 4.25. The following parameters are known: V1= V2= V3= 20 L, R1= R2= R3= R4= 108Pa/(m3/s), gas constant R = 8314 J/kmolK, p4= 0 (atmospheric pressure), the molecular mass of gas M = 29 kg/kmol and the temperature To = 20∘C. Compute the steady state pressures if the pressure p0has the initial value p0(0) = 2 bar and it changes stepwise to p0= 3 bar. Plot the change of the pressures in the tanks.
