Short Answer

Expert verified

By using divergence theorem and then find the divergence of a vector field, we can find the integral.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Consider the following vector field:

F(x,y,z)=x2zln2i+(x-y+z)j+(2y+4z)k.

The objective is to evaluate the integralsF(x,y,z)·ndS, where Sis the surface of the first octant region Wbounded by the coordinate planes and the plane x+y+2z=2, and nis the outwards-pointing normal vector.

02

Thedivergence theorem

Use Divergence Theorem to evaluate this integral.

Divergence Theorem states that,

"Let Wbe a bounded region in 3whose boundary Sis a smooth or piecewise-smooth closed oriented surface. If a vector field F(x,y,z)is defined on an open region containing W, then,SF(x,y,z)·ndS=WdivF(x,y,z)dV"

where nis the outwards unit normal vector."

03

The divergence of the vector field

First find the divergence of the vector field F=x2zln2i+(x-y+z)j+(2y+4z)k.

The divergence of a vector field F(x,y,z)=F1(x,y,z)i+F2(x,y,z)j+F3(x,y,z)kis defined as follows: divF(x,y,z)=xi+yj+zk·F1i+F2j+F3k=F1x+F2y+F3z.

Then, the divergence of the vector fieldF(x,y,z)=x2zln2i+(x-y+z)j+(2y+4z)kwill be,

divF(x,y,z)=xi+yj+zk·x2zln2i+(x-y+z)j+(2y+4z)k

=xx2zln2+y(x-y+z)+z(2y+4z)

=22ln2+(-1)+4

=22ln2+3

04

Step 4 

The region is bounded by the surface S, whereSis the surface of the first octant region Wbounded by the coordinate planes and the plane x+y+2z=2.

Here the region of integration will be,

R=(x,y,z)0x2,0y2-x,0z2-x-y2.

Now, use Divergence Theorem (1) to evaluate the integral

role="math" localid="1650791737749" SF(x,y,z)·ndSasfollows:

SF·ndS=RdivFdV

=0202-02-x-1222ln2+3dzdydx

=0202-x02-x-y2zln2+3dzdydx

=0202-x22+3z02-x-ydydx

=0202-y22-x+32-x-y2-2a+3·0dydx

=0202-x22-y-y2+32(2-x-y)-1dydx.

05

simplify the last integral

Simplify the last integral Sas follows:

SF-ndS

=0202-x22-x-x2+32(2-x-y)-1dydx

=0202-x22-x-y2+32(2-x-y)-1dydx

=02-22-x-y2ln2+2y-3xy2-3y2402-xdx

=02-22-x-(2-x)2ln2+2(2-x)-3x(2-x)2-3(2-x)24

--22-x-02ln2+2·0-3x·02-3·024dx

=02-22-x-(2-x)2ln2+2(2-x)-3x(2-x)2-3(2-x)24

--22-x-02ln2+2·0-3x-02-3·024dx

=0222-x2-1ln2+1-2x+3x24dx

=x-x2+x34-23-x(ln2)2-2xln202

=2-22+234-23-22(ln2)2-2·2ln2-0-02+034-23·02(ln2)2-2·0ln2

=4(1-ln2)(ln2)2

Therefore, the required integral is

sF(x,y,z)·ndS=4(1-ln2)(ln2)2
