Is Mean Temp in 2 phase Heat Exchangers Higher Than Logarithmic Mean? I am looking at this paper: https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1314&context=iracc Having a bit of trouble understanding all of it, but my basic question is just: If I have a heat pump where the hot...

Hi, knowing the coordinates of two points: ##(x_1,y_1)## and ##(x_2,y_2)## on a linear scale plot, I can use linear interpolation to get ##y## for a point of known ##x## using the formula below: $$y=y_1+(x−x_1) \frac{(y_2−y_1)}{(x_2−x_1)}$$ But how does it look like in the case of logarithmic...

May I know how to calculate this question without a calculator? The final answer of this question is 3 but I really have no idea how to work on it to get the final answer.

Hello there, I've been working through a task (that doesn't have an answer sheet or explanation) in which we plot I against V for three different diodes. Each has a different threshold voltage and displays the usual charcteristic curve. The final question is this: "It is suggested that the...

A friend asked me how to solve this question: $$log_2(x+2)+log_{(x-2)}4=3$$ I said I had no idea because one is x + 2 and the other one is x - 2. If both are x + 2 or x - 2, I can do it. He said that if that's the case, even at his level he could solve it. This is what I've done so far regarding...

Star magnitudes of brightness seem to use inverse logarithmic scales, is there a benefit to this? Why was this chosen, i can understand logarithmic might make it easier to interpret data in same way we do similar for earthquakes etc. But why inverse ? When i look at a HR diagram for example (...

Should I just follow the original question? If given as ##f(x)=\ln x^4## then the domain is x ∈ ℝ , x ≠ 0 and if given as ##f(x) = 4 \ln x## the domain is x > 0? So for the determination of domain I can not change the original question from ##\ln x^4## to ##4 \ln x## or vice versa? Thanks

(I hope this is not a double posting) I want to solve this system of equations, containing logarithmic terms: ##7\ln(a/b)+A = 7\ln(d/e)+D = 7\ln(g/h)+G## ##7\ln(a/c)+B = 7\ln(d/f)+E = 7\ln(g/i)+H## ##7\ln(b/c)+C = 7\ln(e/f)+F = 7\ln(h/i)+I## ##a\phi_1+d\phi_2+g\phi_3=X##...

The author, John Burn-Murdoch, shows here ( https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1237748598051409921.html ) how the logarithmic scale can give a better "sense" of what is happening. In linear scales, some countries' data is squashed to almost nonexistent, while others explode out of control. I...

I want to focus this question on understanding the force ##F(r)## I get (thus, I want to focus on c) ). However, below the dashed line, I included steps on how I derived ##F(r)##. We are going to work in polar coordinates. Knowing that the acceleration is: $$a = \Big( \ddot r - r \dot...

Integrating both sides of the equation yields ##\ln{|y|}=-\frac{1}{4x^2}+C ## ##\iff \ln{|y|}=-\frac{1}{4x^2}+\ln{D} ## ##\iff |y|=De^{-\frac{1}{4x^2}}## At ##(1,1)##, ##D=e^{\frac{1}{4}}##. So for ##y>0##, ##y=e^{ \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4x^2}}##, and for ##y<0##...

Homework Statement Determine function $$f(x) = \log(\sqrt{x^2+1}+x)$$ Is odd or even. Homework Equations ##\log(a+b) = \log(a) + \log(1+b/a)## The Attempt at a Solution First I thought it is a even function without considering the x at the end, which of course isn't the actual case. Then I...

Dear all, I wish to solve the following logarithmic equation: \[log_{3x}3+log_{\frac{x}{3}}3=\frac{5}{12}\] My intuition was to start with changing the base of both logarithms to 10 (or any other number), but couldn't continue from there. Can you assist please ? Is there a meaning to the fact...

Hello, I just had a little debate with my professor after taking my final exam. He had given us an additional formula sheet at the last second (hand written on the projector) which confused me. The question was a 7 MeV neutron collides with several U-238 atoms before reaching 2 MeV. How many...

I need to find the domain of f(x) = log5(8 - 2x). I am not sure if I could find this by doing a inequality equation, but I think my professor wants us to do it on a number-line anyway. I'm sorry, but I am not sure where to start.

Homework Statement Solve: ##ln(x-4)-ln(x)=6## I know the solution is no solution, but the value I got is what I am unsure of as I could have got a million different values for x that would result in no solution, but I'm not sure if the value that I got is correct. Once you hit the "no...

Say I have ##log_5(x)=log_5\left(\frac{2x+3}{2x-3}\right)## This means that the value of the LHS and RHS are equal. I take this to mean that "5 raised to some exponent is equal to both x and ##\frac{2x+3}{2x-3}##. I can now write this as ##x=\frac{2x+3}{2x-3}## because since the function is...

I've spent some time researching and trying to find an equation for this line, but it's not exact. I'm only searching for the equation of the line that descends towards zero (the angled line). I plugged in some numbers and it does not match the graph, the line on the graph is steeper. I start...

Hey guys, I have a couple of questions here. One, I was just wondering if someone could elaborate on, and the second, I worked it out, but more by guessing. I was hoping someone would be able to help explain both. Here is the first of the two questions So, part a was fairly straightforward...

I would like to prove that the following integral is logarithmically divergent. $$\int d^{4}k \frac{k^{4}}{(k^{2}-a)((k-b)^{2}-x)((k-y)^{2}-a)((k-z)^{2}-a)}$$ This is 'obvious' because the power of ##k## in the numerator is ##4##, but the highest power of ##k## in the denominator is ##8##...

I encountered this in http://calcchat.com/book/Calculus-10e/8/4/7/ How come the above expression equals the below? What I know it should be 4 ln(x/(4+sqrt(16-x^2))) which means the -1 becomes the power of that thing inside ln. Please help me. I really don't get it.

My book finds a function of x say ln(x). It is the area under 1/x. Having the properties (d/dx) ln x = 1/x and ln 1 = 0. It says it determines ln(x) completely. It satisfies the laws of logarithms, but why can I regard it as a logarithm just because it satisfies those laws?
