    Most Nearly?

    I know about if sizing is the question you would go to the next size that can satisfy the requirement. For values like Drag Force is there any exception to this most nearly meaning?  If drag force calculated is 157.3 lbf, which is most nearly a 155lbf or 160lbf?  The answer is 160 lbf as per...

    TFS practice problem of the week...

    Would that be really a potential question? Since this problem can be solved in many ways.  If I use the standard Q=CfAo(2gh(rho2-rho1)/rho1)^1/2 I get the unit of K to be ft^5/s^2 But if I do it with velocity I get K without a unit. It's basically the same, one using velocity and one using Q.

    TFS practice problem of the week...

    What I did was use the basic equation.  using v^2/2g=h(rhofluid-rhoOil)/rhoOil there could be a coefficient of flow based on the Q equation of venturi with manometer, but that doesn't matter since everything will turn to a constant. So there you get the K if you move h=8in on the left side of...

    Probably, but if you don't know the answer yet, its gonna hunt you for a while jajaja Solution is very short xD

    TFS practice problem of the week...

    As the question said, it used to measure 8in of h at 400GPM. That should tell you something, try again youll get it.

    Table set up at exam

    Oh this one, what's the table size like? I am taking test in NYC area as well.  If I get 4'x3' table I should be fine.

    Table set up at exam

    I read somewhere that you  can't put your reference on the aisle, so excess books got to be under the table. That could be a pain reaching your stuff under.  I am now using a square card table about 4'x3', all my stuff can fit.  Anyone took the test previously in NYC area? Do they get you this...

    MERM Companion Chapter 17 Prob. #30

    Yes got it now, since its talking about gauge pressure, so atmospheric should be in gauge too which is 0. I missed that! Damn silly mistakes!  Thought it was tricking me to get the real reading of pressure gauge but it turns out it was just another term used for pressure in vaccum. Thanks!

    MERM Companion Chapter 17 Prob. #30

    Exactly! Did it say atmospheric gauge?  This is all about wordings in the problem. If you don't say gauge, what is the assumption? Its in absolute right? 
  15. V

    MERM Companion Chapter 17 Prob. #30

    I disagree, because it says gauge pressure reads (6inHG=2.95psi) below atmospheric. So the gauge pressure is reading 2.95psi below 14.7. So still that pressure is gauge pressure. 14.7-2.95 = 11.75psi this is what the gauge reads. So in the bernoulli equation if he wants to use the gauge...

    MERM Companion Chapter 17 Prob. #30

    To whoever have this book, can you also please check the solution in this problem? I think the calculation of P1 suction is incorrect. Problem says suction "gauge" reads 6inHg below atmospheric.  I translate this as 2.95psi below 14.7psi "gauge" = 11.75psig NOT absolute yet. So the answer to...

    For Test Takers PE Mechanical TFS April 2018

    Nice! Yes we still have lots of time!  I just finished my 3rd pass on SlayPE, I finished with about 5hrs, I think thats the fastest I can do with that material. Now currently working on MERM companion again for second pass. Then will repeat all material until Apr. 11! Also now I am...
