Question: In a computer program for the WangHenke bubble-point method, 10,100 storage locations are wastefully set aside for the four indexed coefficients of the tridiagonal-matrix solution

In a computer program for the Wang—Henke bubble-point method, 10,100 storage locations are wastefully set aside for the four indexed coefficients of the tridiagonal-matrix solution of the component material balances for a 100-stage distillation column. Aj xi, j–1 + Bjxi, j + Cjxi, j + 1 – Dj = 0. Determine the minimum number of storage locations required if the calculations are conducted in the most efficient manner.
