Week 4 1st ODE Flashcards
solution method: Integration factor
what form should the ODE be in to use this method?
Where P,Q are arbitrary: constants/ functions of ‘x’, the Denominator/Independent variable/inside bracket
What is the integration factor?
What is the solution for the integration factor? E.G. dy/dx

What’s the differential equation form ? (e.g. engineering problems)
What is Newton’s law of cooling?
rate of change of temp is proportional to the difference between that rate and the surroundings
Classify the following differential equations a) by order b) by whether they are linear or non-linear
and c) if linear, whether they are homogeneous or non-homogeneous
order= 1
(dx/dt is the biggest derivative so = 1)
linear
1- dependent variable (TOP) and its derivatives are only to first degree
2- no products of dependent variable (TOP) with its derivatives
3- no transcendental functions/non-linear functions of x (dependent/TOP) and its derivatives
non-homogenous
(doesn’t = 0 at end, even though it’s in standard form- all x terms LHS )
Equation for the volumetric flow rate
Q = A * V
A= cross-sectional area
V= velocity
