    Partial Thermo analysis of a Crower engine

    Hi everyone. Some years ago I read about the Crower six cycle engine. Always wanted to understand it better. And now is the time to follow up on that desire. I’m trying to calculate what happens during the water injection. The goal is to determine the conditions (pressure, temperature)...

    Calculus Ordinary and partial differential equations

    Hi, I'm attempting to learn differential equations on my own. Does anyone recommended a textbook that comes with/has a solution manual? I learn faster when I can see a problem worked out if I can't solve it. Thanks.

    Solving Partial Differential Equations with Substitution

    Homework Statement Hello I am given the equation: ut - 2uxx = u I was given other equations (boundary, eigenvalue equations) but i don't think I need that to solve this first part: The book says to get rid of the zeroth order term by substituting u = exp(t)V(x,t). I tried to but I can't find...

    I What is the solution to the heat equation with a constant added?

    I have seen how to solve the heat equation: $$ \frac{ \partial^2 u(x,t) }{\partial x^2} = k^2 \frac{ \partial u(x,t) }{\partial t} $$ With boundary conditions. I use separation variables to find the result, but i don't know how to solve the equation plus a...
