I purchased these books new and used them to study for the April 2010 exam, which I passed taking the first time. All are on Ebay auctions. Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam - starting price is $35 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=STRK:MESELX:IT Mechanical...

I know this is very basic, but I'm feeling like I'm missing something. Enthalpy as an example: I know that hf is enthalpy of saturated liquid, and hg is enthalpy of saturated vapor, and hfg = (hg - hf). I was working some vapor cycle problems last week, and from the steam tables, I would...

To those taking HVAC depth, what references will you be taking and what are you tabbing? I will be taking MERM and all four ASHRAE handbooks. I also will be using a binder, which so far has 3 sheets of paper--one equation sheet that I've made up, a print-out of how to read a refrigerant...

I'm working the HVAC 6 min solutions, on a pool evaporation rate problem (#36), and it refers to ASHRAE for the equation used. I can't find this equation in any of my ASHRAE handbooks. Can someone point me to it? Thanks.

I am reworking problems in the Lindeburg Sample Exam, and am struggling to understand the concepts for questions #19 and 20, and failure theories (MERM chapter 50) in general. Is there something in the problem wording that is a hint? For infinite life do I always use the Goodman equations...

#538 in Mech Systems depth of the 2008 NCEES sample exam: A 42-tooth pinion running at 1800 rpm drives a gear at 1080 rpm. The spur gear pair is to be enclosed in a cylindrical casing with a total diametral clearance of 1/2". The diametral pitch is 16 teeth/in. The minimum required casing...

I have seen some conflicting statements about writing in references that will be taken to the exam. I had thought that there should be no pencil in books, but then I saw a post that someone said they could not use pen in their books. I didn't see either mentioned in my letter w/ exam rules...

I've worked through the MERM, chapters 14-60, and worked the example problems and the book of practice problems for each chapter. I went through chapter 7 of the 101 solved mech problems, and decided that the problems were too complex and taking too much time, so quit that book, then worked...

I'm in MERM chapter 29 right now, and wondering if I should be skipping some of these time consuming thermal systems chapters. Can anyone tell me what I should skip if selecting HVAC as my depth? Thanks.

I hope it's kosher to divulge this info... Can anyone tell me if the problems were pretty well split between US and SI? or should I focus more on one system? Thanks in advance!

My "the other board" study manual was outside my door this morning. I have the Lindeburg manual, practice problems and sample exam. I'm taking the Oct 08 exam, probably with the HVAC depth. I'm a bit worried about the exam because my work has been limited (one field), and it seems like it's...
