    Vector product question in cylindrical coordinates

    So I know this problem is old, but it is cut & paste one of my HW problems with which I am having a lot of trouble. If I need to start a new thread I can, my apologies if I've broken a rule, I looked and didn't see one. Anyways, a) I have been letting...

    Rewriting a Vector in Terms of Two Arbitrary Vectors

    I really appreciate both of the effort you guys put into helping me tonight. The deadline just passed and I didn't get this one, but 6/7 isn't so bad. I am going to work on this more tomorrow morning. Put way more hours into the HW than I feel like I should have, for now I think I need sleep...

    Rewriting a Vector in Terms of Two Arbitrary Vectors

    I'm sorry, I had a typo in that first line. This is really my 2nd time using LaTEX. What I meant to say was: The vector equation for \vec{v} will be v_{1}\vec{g}_{1} + v_{2}\vec{g}_{2} Thanks to you, I understand that part and I get: I worked out the cross product and got...

    Rewriting a Vector in Terms of Two Arbitrary Vectors

    Thanks gabbagabbahey, so I see how the problem works. My problem is that I didn't understand the notation given in the hint. The vector equation for \vec{v} will be \vec{v}_{1}\vec{g}_{1} + \vec{v}_{2}\vec{g}_{2} Thanks to you, I understand that part and I get...

    Rewriting a Vector in Terms of Two Arbitrary Vectors

    Also I have no idea how you square a cross product? I don't think that it means the magnitude or anything.

    Setting Up a Non Catalytic Reaction beteen air and methane

    It's not a combustion reaction...well, it can't be in our case, we are just using a heat source to heat a chamber. It will be at atmospheric pressure, but the temperature is like 70 Celsius or something like that.

    Setting Up a Non Catalytic Reaction beteen air and methane

    Setting Up a Non Catalytic Reaction beteen air and methane! Hello, I'm in a group and we have been given the task of setting up an oxidation reaction between methane and air (different ratios), and seeing what the products are. We know what the products will be, but we don't know how to set up...

    Mastering ChE 2011 Process Analysis: Extra Credit for Problem #3.2 Explained

    There is a correction apparently which helps a little...Instead of effort, he meant to type error. Maybe this will give someone and idea. I'm at a loss.

    Mastering ChE 2011 Process Analysis: Extra Credit for Problem #3.2 Explained

    Hello, this is my first post in these forums, hopefully it proves to be helpful. I recently just took my 4th exam in my ChE 2011 Process Analysis class. I didn't do good on it at all. The good news is, the professor is giving us a chance to get some extra credit. For Extra Credit...
