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...

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...

Can anyone explain to me how they arrived to the solution on NCEES #523 on the machine design portion. You need the picture to work the problem, that is why I haven't included the problem statement. I don't understand how they got the secondary shear force calculations.

I have chosen to take the Thermo/Fluids depth for the examination this Friday. As additional practice I am doing the NCEES Sample Questions for the HVAC Depth and Machine Depth (my weaker areas). I am finding the HVAC problems seem to be fairly difficult. When I did the practice test the...

Turbine Question on NCEES Sample Questions & Solutions Manual (#519) Question asks for the mass flow rate to the inlet of Turbine. Turbine Inlet (1) p1=900 psia T1= 900 F h1 = 1452 Btu/lb Turbine Outlet #1 p2=60 psia h1=1201 Btu/lb m2=m1*10% Tubine Outlet #2 p3=1 psia h3=970...

I am currently doing the Six Minute Solutions - Thermal Fluids depth as a review. I have already taken the "other board" exam and thought this would be a good way to review. I am finding these problems to be more difficult then the problems on the afternoon section of the "other board" exam...

MERM Practice Problem 41.2 requires you to calculate the cooling load of a building based on a 32 deg N latitude at 4 pm in the afternoon. It gives you areas for the north, south, east, and west for walls and windows. Then it makes equivalent temperature differnece assumptions based on the...

I currently have the following tables for air and steam properties: 1. Themro book "Mora and Shapiro" 2. MERM Reference Manual 3. Conosolidated Gas Dynamic Tables (Isentropic, Fann, Rayleigh, and Normal Shock Waves). I have noticed on numerous posts of recommendations of good air and steam...

I am currently studying to take the P.E. in April and selecting the Thermo/Fluids Depth. Studying through the MERM, the Nuclear Power Cycle has no equations or information to help solve problems. However when I did the Practice Problems that came with the MERM, there were questions with...
