    Engineering How Do You Simplify a Circuit Using Thevenin's Theorem?

    Would the first step be setting all those current sources to 0? Thus left with the remaining voltage source and the two resistors? http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2318/q2z4.png

    Engineering How Do You Simplify a Circuit Using Thevenin's Theorem?

    Homework Statement Above given is the circuit I am supposed to simplify where the 1/5Ω resistor is the load. I'm unsure how to convert this circuit into an equivalent Thevenin Circuit. Homework Equations V = I*R (Ohm's Law) The Attempt at a Solution Using Microcap and it's...

    Solve Laplace Transform: te^t*H(t-1)

    Thanks, that was a mistake sorry So basically use the integration rule and integrate te^t and then apply the Heaviside function? I'm sorry, I'm not too confident with the Integral method, but.. integral{te^t} = (t-1)e^(t-st) I'm not sure how to work from there. [Googling Heaviside...

    Solve Laplace Transform: te^t*H(t-1)

    Homework Statement Laplace transform: te^t*H(t-1) Homework Equations L{te^t} = 1/(s-1)^2 L{H(t-1)} = e-s/s The Attempt at a Solution Using e^(at)f(t) -> F(s-a) with..e^(1t)H(t-1) We can get, e^(-1s-1)/(s-1) = e^(-s-1)/(s-1) [I think?] Thus applying tf(t) -> -dF/ds Derive[e^(-s-1)/(s-1)]...

    Chemistry Chemical Process Analysis - Mole Flow Rate

    Homework Statement 120 mol/min of Propane (C3H8) is burned in the presence of air (21% O2 and 79% N2) in a furnace, two reactions occur: Complete Combustion: 67%, propane is burned to CO2 and H2O Incomplete Combustion: 18%, propane is burned to CO and H2O Oxygen is supplied at 70%...

    Which Electron Configurations of Phosphorus Are Correct?

    Basically, this 1s3 2s3 2p6 3s2 3p1 violates Pauli's Law because of the third electron in the 2s orbital.

    Which Electron Configurations of Phosphorus Are Correct?

    Pauli's Exclusion Principle... each electron in an atom has a unique set of quantum numbers which must abide to a specific criteria... where basically, any orbital can only contain a maximum of two electrons. Ahh, when I actually bother to read my notes, I see that p-orbitals have 3...

    Heaviside and Laplace Transforms

    Fair enough then, I have a Chemistry Prac in a bit so I don't have much time to calculate it, but, would the end result come out to as what I have gotten? Or is there a mistake that needs to be corrected here? Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

    Heaviside and Laplace Transforms

    This was my first homework question, I assumed it was correct since the tutorer looked at it and ticked me off, but, this is the question where I dragged my error from... Attempt #2 (t²-1)H(t-2) + (0-t²)H(t-3) (t²-1) = (t-2)²+4(t-2)+4-1 H(t-2) [(t-2)²+4(t-2)+3]...

    Heaviside and Laplace Transforms

    Aha, that's not a problem at all, I'm assuming a lot of what you've just mentioned is something I'll be coming across in my course :)

    Heaviside and Laplace Transforms

    Thanks BruceW, unfortunately, I did not know that, going through my lecture notes and slides, there's no information on double checking our Laplace Transforms. Thanks a lot for telling me this, I'll Google it later to do a little bit more research on it! And Ray Vickson, much appreciated, I...

    Heaviside and Laplace Transforms

    Ah, it's a mistake carried over from a previous homework question I've done. How would you go about substituting in values of 't' in order for it to validate my f(t) value? For example... cos(2∏(t-3))H(t-3) - cos(2∏(t-6))H(t-6) And substitute in 0, cos(2∏(0-3))H(0-3) - cos(2∏(0-6))H(0-6) is...

    Using Laplace Transforms to Solve ODE with Piecewise Forcing Function

    Could you possibly do this... y'' + 4y' + 3y = f(t) y'' + 3y' + y' + 3y = f(t) d/dx [y' + 3y] + [y' + 3y] = f(t) let u = y' + 3y u' + u = f(t) Would that be correct?
