The data file included with this homework assignment contains readings from the fuel flow totalizer on a Boeing 767 flying from LAX to Paris. The fuel flow totalizer measures the total quantity of fuel that is consumed by the aircraft's engines through the duration of the flight. The totalizer's output is temperature-corrected to units of pounds (lbs). The totalizer's reading is recorded in the data file at the end of each minute (i.e. the first measurement is taken at t = 60 seconds). Each totalizer reading represents the cumulative fuel consumption from the beginning of the flight through the current minute, so the data should start at zero, and end with the total quantity of fuel consumed during the flight. PART I: On paper, work out your strategy for completing Part II. Break it up into smaller parts. Look at the data set, and record your observations about the numbers you see. Work out how you'll make the necessary calculations. Set up the math. Do this before you sit down in front of the keyboard. Turn in a photo or a scan of Part I. PART II: Write a MATLAB program that completes the following tasks: 1. Load the data from the "fuel_totalizer.txt" file into an array. 2. Use a for loop to calculate the quantity of fuel consumed during each minute of the flight (current minus previous). Write the output to a new array. This is the fuel flow rate in pounds per minute for each minute of the flight. Think carefully about how you will make this calculation for the first minute. 3. Use your for loop to also calculate the fuel flow rate in pounds per second (lbs/s) for each minute of the flight. Write the output to a new matrix. 4. Use your for loop to find the maximum fuel flow rate in lbs/s, and report the rate and the minute when it occurs. 5. Use your for loop to find the total fuel consumption through the flight. Check to make sure this total is correct. It should be equal to the last measurement from the totalizer. 6. Calculate the average fuel consumption rate for the entire flight in lbs/hour. 7. The rate of fuel consumption is much higher when the aircraft is taking off and climbing to cruising altitude. Assuming the fuel flow rate is at least 1.5 times the average rate during takeoff and climb, how many minutes did the takeoff and climb phase of the flight last? PART III: Make Plots 7. Take the raw data from the data file, and make a labeled line plot of the data set. 8. The the output from Problem 2, and make a labeled line plot of that information. 9. Save your plots as .eps, .pdf, .png, or .jpg files (your choice). DO NOT SAVE AS .fig FILES!! I can't read .fig files.
