Chapter 6 - Problem 6.A1

Again, another hydraulic calculation. Besides, nobody uses atmospheres anymore. Young engineers, enjoy....




Chapter 5 - Problem 5.A1

Ah!, the good old and boring hydraulic calculations......zzzz!, I'll be posting more of these problems in the near future.




Chapter 4 - Problem 4.D1

This problem illustrates the difference between approximate and exact solutions.

Chapter 4 - Problem 4.C1

The following procedure was the easiest way to attack this problem. What do you think?






















Chapter 4 - Problem 4.B1




Chapter 4 - Problem 4.A1

The beautiful Bessel functions. For more information check this link out(http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BesselFunctionoftheFirstKind.html).







Remind me to post the solution using orthogonal collocation. For now, just enjoy another 3-D plot.
