How many references are you bringing?

[cfm03]

Regarding books, personalized notes, any other references... What is the recommended upper and lower threshold? I am inclined to bring several books besides merm, 6ms, ncees, ppi but not sure if I will use them... Any thoughts?

I wouldn't take any references you are not familiar with.  It will just eat up more time looking through a new book for you.  I took MERM, Roarks, Machiners hand book and forgot my unit conversion book last October.

Fair enough. Makes sense.

Yup, I would only bring what I've used to date. Before I start studying I printed some references from the Lindeburgs list, but never really used it.

Have you guys looked up any information on valves?  

And/or air filters?

I am looking for one of those equivalent feet lists for valves....  stay tuned

You will need to know the pro's and con's of each valve type.  What's best at control, throttling, least pressure drop....  ect

I am bringing the MERM and the Unit Conversion Book. I made my own equation sheet and appendix binder. I am not bringing any other references because I didn’t use anything else during my preparation.

 

[cfm03]

Referenced heavily used and planning to bring:

1.MERM (reference, practice problems)
2.Binders with most problems I personally solved
3.NCEES 2016/2011, EngPro, SlayPe, PPI, 6MS
4.Cameroon book
5.Steam and gas tables by Keenan and Keyes
6.Cheetsheet with most used conversions and formulas.
7.Engineerig unit conversions by PPI

References not used as much but very helpful:

8.Thermodynamics by Yunus Cengel and M. Boles
9.Heat Transfer by Cengel and Boles
10.Fluid Mechanics by Cengel and Boles
11.Valve Size Basics

I am on the fence to bring 8 through 11.

Sorry for the typo, the first word should read, 'references', not 'referenced'. Autocorrect is not my friend today.
