    PE - HVAC October 2010

    But you were supposed to buy my books that I'm selling! ;) Either way, I think you'll be glad you have them. Another helpful resource: search this message board for the yahoo ME PE study group. I remember someone posted info on joining the group. If you join the group, they have a file...

    PE - HVAC October 2010

    There are Six Min Solution (SMS) books for HVAC, Thermal & Fluids, and Machine Design. My depth was HVAC, so I only purchased the HVAC SMS. Yes, I thought the price was ridiculous, but had heard folks say that they were most representative of the exam, and I knew that the more practice...

    PE - HVAC October 2010

    I used the most recent ASHRAE handbooks (mechguy listed the titles). If you're an ASHRAE member, they send you a new handbook every year. My company pays for two pro organization memberships per year, so I've always maintained my ASHRAE membership (but I think I've only attended 2 meetings)...

    which calcualtor for ME (HVACR) Test

    I normally use a TI ,but I used the Casio FX-115ES, and it worked fine. I used it while studying and working problems, so I was very familiar with it at the test. I also ended up using the convert units feature several times on the test. Also I remember that I preferred the display to the TIs...

    PE - HVAC October 2010

    I don't think you need the conversions book, as the common ones are on the inside cover of the MERM, and the rest are in the first appendix, and if you get the Casio 115fx (I think that was the #), it has built in conversions, which yes, I did use on the test. My office had the 101 problems and...

    Mechanical PE

    I finished the morning with an hour to spare, which was about the same rate on the sample exam. Machine design is my weakest subject and that hit me pretty hard, but I still felt like I got the correct answers. I felt pretty confident and had that hour to review my work. The afternoon was...

    Exam Kits

    Check your calculator to see if it requires a screwdriver to change batteries. My Casio FX-115ES requires a mini phillips. Luckily, I have a little key chain knife that has a screwdriver that fits it.

    With 10 days to go, what are you focusing on?

    Bulk temp is the ave temp, which is used to find properties, density, cp, etc.

    With 10 days to go, what are you focusing on?

    LMTD is used when calc-ing overall heat transfer for the HX. When given an overall heat trans coeff, that's a big hint. Other hints are fouling factor, # tubes, and tube area. It's not used when calcing heat transfer from one side (one fluid side, just use the fluid enter and exit temps)...

    With 10 days to go, what are you focusing on?

    For those of you that aren't allowed to have food, How about bubblegum? I'm not a gum chewer, but my nephew insisted on giving me a piece of juicy fruit which I put in my pocket and pulled out right before working my sample exam. The flavor of that stuff dies pretty quickly, but I chewed it...

    With 10 days to go, what are you focusing on?

    I hope to go through HVAC SMS two more times (like maybe tomorrow, then again in a week), NCEES exam once, and maybe the PPI exam if I have time. Today is mechanics / mach design, and maybe some econ.

    Steam Tables - g vs. fg

    I know to use hfg for quality. I think this problem was a vapor power cycle, and I was finding the enthalpy of sat steam at a point. The solution used hfg while I used hg. They weren't finding quality, but said that hfg was the enthalpy of the steam at that point. It didn't make sense to...
