The Taylor series expansion for a^x is: a^x = sum n = 0 to infinity [(ln(a))^n]*x^n/n! Write a MATLAB program that determines a^x using the Taylor series expansion. The program asks the user to type a value for x. Use a loop for adding the terms of the Taylor series. If Cn is the nth term in the series, then the sum Sn of the n terms is Sn = S(n-1) + Cn. In each pass calculate the estimated error E given by E = abs((Sn-S(n-1))/(S(n-1))). Stop adding terms when E < .000001. The program displays the value of a^x. Use the program to calculate: (a) 2^(3.5) (b) 6.3^(1.7) Compare the values with those obtained by using a calculator.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
