Hi Saad85, I would suggest we start another thread for #510, just to stay on topic and to make the forum more organized.  I will message you directly about the sample exam that I wrote for the same reason.  Thank you! 

Hi landolakes, Your method and approach definitely appears like you have everything on track.  It is similar to the approach that I used and also similar to the approach used by people on this post:  

Hi KSchu, Which Mechanical PE exam do you plan on taking?  This will help us to provide better recommendations.   Hi landolakes, Which exam are you taking?

Hi Saad85, I believe you are talking about the cascading feewater heater problem.  The main problem is that you have two unknown mass flow rates, the entering saturated liquid (m_1) and the leaving saturated liquid (m_3).  The problem asks you to solve for m_3.  Since you have two unknowns, you...

Hi spacebanjo, I would not suggest bringing the API or B31 codes.  Those codes are quite large.  In my opinion you should only be aware of the codes and when they are used.  For a test taker to test those codes would not prove that an individual is competent as a Thermal and Fluids engineer.  I...

Hi spacebanjo, I don't think you should be too worried about the SHR type questions, because I doubt that a testmaker would make possible exam solutions very close to one another, such that a slight difference in a SHR would cause a different exam solution.  Also you can break up the SHR into...

Hi apford, My name is Justin.  I took the HVAC & Refrigeration exam in 2008 and passed.  I was similar to you, I worked for an MEP consulting firm and primarily designed chilled water plants (not too much heating in Hawaii, so no boiler plants).  I also recognized that there were problems...

Yes, some of the equations apply. It should also be helpful for your morning session exam. From my experience, the morning session problems that deal with HVAC & Refrigeration have been somewhat straight forward and sometimes are completed by simply using the correct equation.

I put together a list of the key equations and terms that I used for the HVAC & Refrigeration Afternoon Exam. Feel free to download. http://engproguides.com/hvackey.pdf Anybody else have similar cheat sheets that they would like to share? hvackey.pdf

I had the same experience and used the same reference materials(a consecutive set of ASHRAE books and the MERM). Look in ASHRAE if you want more HVAC material.

I agree that it would be difficult to capture all the necessary equations for the test and you will definitely have to turn to your references(so be able to navigate them with ease). Cheat sheets can be a good study method. They are a great way to (1) summarize your months of studying, (2) put...

LEED AP is a necessity in the consulting business. I am pretty sure most federal contracts require the consulting team to have a LEED AP and most states are following, Hawaii including. I work for a MEP consulting firm and I know that our firm was passed up on a job because we did not have an...

Here are some of the things that I included on my cheat sheets (I took HVAC and Refrigeration back in October 08) I don't have the actual sheets on me right now but here's what i remember: A picture of a psych chart, with arrows pointing in the direction of dehumidification, humidification...
