i plan to take the HVAC/Refrig depth exam.
1. any need for code books or at least a list of sections (Int. Mech Code, AGA Code, NFPA, etc.)?
2. fire protection design?
3. combustion calculations?
4. chemistry? how advanced? organic?
5. trusses, bending, compression, torsion, poissons ratio, etc.? (how much statics/solids/strength of materials?)
6. metallurgy?
7. how detailed does the HVAC design get?
example: do you need to know 'parts' of a steam turbine or merely how to calculate input/output values based upon given entering/exiting conditions/efficiencies, etc.?
8. SMACNA (sheet metal) design? (for you non-HVAC folks, this is for sheet metal ductwork.)
9. presumably the depth section targets 'deeper, more specific or advanced' sections of fluids, solids, mach design, welding, dynamics so as to make it possible for someone taking the HVAC depth to exclude studying such?
10. fully conceptual questions (realistic, hypothetical or even bizarre)?
11. how much 'spreading out' room did you have? how many books would fit on your desk area?
12. Cameron Hydraulic book...does it have sufficient steam tables? gas tables? I'd like to minimize the number of books I take in.
13. HVAC rules of thumb handbook helpful or just extra clutter?
14. is their any form of 'ductulator' or fan wheel that is allowed? (NCEES appears to be working hard to keep such devices out of the exam.)
15. plant management, industrial engineering, human efficiency, management, manufacturing flow charts? (is MERM necessary?)
many thanks for your assistance.
