    2nd order Differential Eq. - Reduction of Order

    206, thanks for the help. i always forget to apply this rule.. but still this does not lead me to the answer... so.. i Have y=Ve^x y'=V'e^x + Ve^x y''=V''e^x + 2V'e^x+Ve^x pluging back in original equations gives me (x-1)V''e^x+2V'e^x+V'xe^x=0 setting all the members with V=0 and factoring out...

    2nd order Differential Eq. - Reduction of Order

    I have a problem with differential equations - 2nd order - reduction of order my problem is as follows: (x − 1)y" − xy' + y = 0 , x > 1 ; y_1(x) = e^x solving this type of diff. eq. says to use y=y_1(x)V(x) which gives me y=Ve^x differentiating y gives me y'=V'e^x & y''=V''e^x...

    Where Did I Go Wrong Solving This 2nd Order Homogeneous Differential Equation?

    got it.. cos(pi)=-1 and there i get my negative sign... Vela, thanks a lot for pointing my mistake

    Where Did I Go Wrong Solving This 2nd Order Homogeneous Differential Equation?

    vela, thank you.. i knew i made some silly mistake... after correcting my work i still have discrepancy in sign.. i am getting positiv, while book is saying negative.. After differentiating y I get => y'=et((c2-2c1)sin(2t)+(c1+2c2)cos(2t)) since c1=0 and y'(∏/2)=2 2=2e∏/2c2...

    Reverse Carnot - Refrigeration Cycle problem

    Andrew, thanks again for your help. To me it does make sense what you have described. But how do i proceed with the 2nd law analysis? I do have dead state at 20 deg C and 100 kPa. How am i supposed to use this information? Restricted Dead State is used for Exergy calculation on system as a...

    Reverse Carnot - Refrigeration Cycle problem

    AM Thanks for your quick response. I will post the text of the problem below, and doing the first part of it is not a big deal. I am confused with the same thing you are, 2nd part of it - "expanded control volume". What does that mean? text of the problem: A refrigerator uses...

    Reverse Carnot - Refrigeration Cycle problem

    Hi guys, I have difficulties understanding the what I need to do in this problem. I have a ideal refrigeration cycle. first part is standard calculations, work of compressor and such. Results are Temperature range between -23 and 60 degrees C. Second part is the one that i do not understand. it...
