Folks,
I would appreciate any assistance in solving the following indefinite
integration problem using Mathematica. I can create the expression
below (from the Peng-Robinson equation of state) which is real,
differentiate w.r.t the variable W, followed by indefinite integration
w.r.t. to W to get a complex result rather than the original real
expression. I've tried adding Im[W]==0 assumption to the Integrate
command w/o success.
Composing the expression to be differentiated.
In[5]:= V = 1/W; d = Sqrt[u^2*Nt^2*b^2 - 4*w*b^2*Nt^2]; F = -(Nt*Log[(V
- Nt*b)/V]) + (a*Nt^2*Log[(2*V + u*Nt*b - d)/
(2*V + u*Nt*b + d)])/(R*T*d)
Out[6]= (a*Nt^2*Log[(b*Nt*u - Sqrt[b^2*Nt^2*u^2 - 4*b^2*Nt^2*w] + 2/W)/
(b*Nt*u + Sqrt[b^2*Nt^2*u^2 - 4*b^2*Nt^2*w] + 2/W)])/
(R*T*Sqrt[b^2*Nt^2*u^2 - 4*b^2*Nt^2*w]) - Nt*Log[(-b*Nt + 1/W)*W]
In[7]:= F = FullSimplify[F]
Out[7]= 1/(R*T)*Nt*(-R*T*Log[1 - b*Nt*W] + (a*Nt*Log[(2 + b*Nt*u*W -
Sqrt[b^2*Nt^2* (u^2 - 4*w)]*W)/ (2 + b*Nt*u*W +
Sqrt[b^2*Nt^2*
(u^2 - 4*w)]*W)])/ Sqrt[b^2*Nt^2*(u^2 - 4*w)])
Taking partial derivative w . r . t . W
In[8]:= test = FullSimplify[D[F, W]]
Out[8]= Nt^2*(b/(1 - b*Nt*W) - a/(R*T*(1 + b*Nt*W*(u + b*Nt*w*W))))
Performing indefinite integration on result of differentiation.
In[9]:= F1 = Integrate[test, W]
Out[9]= -((2*a*Nt*ArcTan[(u + 2*b*Nt*w*W)/ Sqrt[-u^2 + 4*w]])/
(b*R*T*Sqrt[-u^2 + 4*w])) - Nt*Log[-1 + b*Nt*W]
In[10]:= TrigToExp[F1]
Out[10]= -Nt*Log[-1 + b*Nt*W] - (I*a*Nt*(Log[1 - (I*(u + 2*b*Nt*w*W))/
Sqrt[-u^2 + 4*w]] - Log[1 + (I*(u + 2*b*Nt*w*W))/
Sqrt[-u^2 + 4*w]]))/ (b*R*T*Sqrt[-u^2 + 4*w])
The result of the integration F1 is complex whereas the original
expression F before differention is real. How can I insure F1 will be
real and equal to F?
Thanks in advance,
Ed
