I passed! First try! Thermal & Fluids What a relief. Thanks for the wonderful guidance this board has provided!!!

Yes, the MERM is sufficient for the morning. Of course, we'll see when I get my results back!!!

Looks like everyone else is about the same as me. To help you get an idea where I'm coming from...I took T&F Depth. I felt like the morning was very representative of the 2008 sample. I even recognized "the traps". I finished an hour early (same as sample) went to the RR and relaxed for a...

yep, thanks for the support on this forum. Good luck Friday y'all.

any tips on when to use Log Mean Temp Diff? I'm willing to bet a paycheck it will appear on the test, but I sometimes get confused on when to use it and when not. It seems that it is used on problems where tube area or number of tubes is required. Does anyone have a helpful hint for when to...

At this point I think I'm losing all of my knowledge. Getting dumber by the second as I re-work these problems. Hurry Up Friday so I can relax!

My plan is: -Complete some MERM problems on: Compressible Flow, Heat Exchangers, Engineering Econ, Psychrometrics -Re-work the depth SMS for T&F -Re-work the NCEES sample exam (for a confidence boost as I made stupid mistakes while earning a low score). 200 hours of studying should be...

hfg can be used as the latent energy and is used when finding the quality.

I think I've got it now....when calculating the pellets, you are basically saying that you can use 84% of the pellets to achieve the same result as 1 ton of coal.

This should be an easy question, but I'm having a mental block. Can someone explain the solution for calculating the ash disposal costs for the Pellets? I don't understand why they took the ratio of coal/pellets. Is there another way to solve this? Thanks in advance.

Seeing as I didn't think I'd have a chance to be prepared for April Exam, I'm proud of myself for how far I've come, but I feel like stupid mistakes will get the best of me. I'm studying hard, but I think I'll be where I need to be for October.

For a psych chart, I have been using this Carrier one: http://www.handsdownsoftware.com/CARRIER-Chart.PDF I like the different colors, and for someone who will be using it for breadth problems, it's easier to use. There are other manufacturer's charts at handsdownsoftware.com as well (Trane...

Excellent. Thanks Dox.(I foresee this conversation benefitting me on the test!)

Help! OK, on this problem you're given steam properties at 600deg F and 1atm and water at 60degF and 1atm. YOu're trying to find what the quality of the mix would be using equal parts of steam and water. Finding the enthalpy of the steam is easy b/c we know its super heated. However, the...
