From my test experience for Thermo/Fluids section I recommend having fundamentals down for combustion/stoichiometry. I believe it helped me get over the passing line last April. It probably is different each year and depending on MECH afternoon section you take.

Lindeburg Exam - 47/80 NCEES Exam - 66/80 I passed P.E. Mechanical (Thermo/Fluids) last spring.

It seemed like it was a complete mix. More than likely it will change from test to test. But I will say, I was glad I went through the MERM completely except for Chapters 60-68. (I just skimmed these chapters and practice problems.) I took the thermo/fluids afternoon section so I spent extra...

I believe your are reading enthalpy instead of wet bulb temperature. 27 Btu/lb of Dry Air is approximately 60 F Wet Bulb. I don't think I can answer your second question. Looking at MERM 38.9 the Lever Rule is what I became comfortable with. I am sure there are many different ways to solve...

The only way I came up with this answer was using Eg. 38-21 for T mixture (dry bulb). I then followed this T mixture dry buld temperature up to the drawn line that is connecting your two initial points (T mixture dry bulb should be inbetween your initial points). This will now be your T...

I purchased the ASME Internation Steam Tables for International Use and found it helpful for the exam. There are many tables that were not helpful. But I did find the steam tables useful and it did eliminate any interpolating on test day. Whatever you choose, get it now so you can practice...

I took the test this April and passed. I agree completely with your statement. Work as many problems as you can find.

Nebraska letter dated 6/12/0008 and received on 6/16/2008. I PASSED. MECH Thermal and Fluids

I PASSED!!! Mechanical Engineering - Thermal and Fluids Systems. Letter from Nebraska Board was dated 6/12/2008. Received today (6/16/2008). Congratulations to everbody that passed as well.

Just received letter dated 6/12/2008. I PASSED!!! (Mechanical Engineering - Thermal and Fluids Systems) Thank you to everybody on this board. EngineeringBoards.com was very helpful in my preparation and waiting for results. I would recommend this site to anybody taking the exam. GO BIG...

Congratulations Matt-NM. Still waiting on mine. Hope to here from Nebraska board soon.

Those were just guesses, I really didn't keep track during the exam. I just tried to go by the ones that I was not confident in. I am sure I missed some that I thought I got right. So maybe my estimates are high. Either way it doesn't really matter, I won't know for another 11 weeks.

I took the Thermo/Fluids depth and thought that the overall test was more difficult then the NCEES practice exam, but easier then the "the other board" test. I also studied 300 hours since January 2008 and propably 100-200 hours before the January 2008. On the NCEES practice exam I got in the...

How realistic is the NCEES Sample Test (Questions & Solutions Manual). I am taking ther thermo/fluids depth and confident in my preparation, if the problems are similar to the NCEES test. But I am worried that when I show up on Friday, it will be completely different. Anybody have any...

I have to work all week, but will be traveling the day before to the test site to stay in a hotel. I plan on looking through all my notes/refrences/practice tests and going through misc problems from the "the other board" exam/6 minute solutions. But I am not going to burn myself out. I plan...
