    What Is the Minimum Power Input to the Pump in This Thermodynamics Problem?

    Okay, I found something else out...but have yet to figure out how to use the tables correctly. I think the water is classified as a compressed liquid, but that's as far as I've gotten.

    What Is the Minimum Power Input to the Pump in This Thermodynamics Problem?

    Homework Statement HI guys, this is an exam review question from the Fundamentals Engr exam. Not sure how to do it, please help me along so I can learn it too! Water enters a pump steadily at T1=20°C, p1=100 kPa at a rate of 35 L/s and leaves at p2=800 kPa. The flow velocities at the...

    Writing Cram Sheets for Math/Science Classes

    I honestly feel that if you have done enough practice problems, the equations should just come naturally to you.

    Schools Little Advice for a High Schooler?

    In my opinion, physics will come for you...but you NEED to have that good math back ground. I would suggest Algebra, Alg 2, Geometry, Trig, and Any calculus you can take! If possible, then throw some physics in there...if not, you will just have to work hard in college to get it(like I did).

    Where can I find a solutions manual for Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics?

    Hey guys! I took mechanics last year, and did fairly well...A-. But, we had a solutions manual/file that a friend had, so we could study on the weekends a lot for upcoming exams. We are struggling in Dynamics, and need to begin studying for the first exam(in 2 weeks). So, my question is...

    Calculating Load Magnitude for Normal Stress in a Uniform Cross-Sectional Area

    You will soon learn in this class, that MPA * mm^2 = N One is x10^6 and the other is x10^-6

    Which engineering is most hands on?

    No doubt about this! The Agricultural Engineers are the most hands on, bar none! We do lots of labs, and have a ton of clubs/groups! And, to be honest...we are called power and machinery engineers, but we are basically a mechanical engineer(take nearly the exact same courses, but just more...

    Mathematica Which branch of engineering is the most mathematical?

    At our school, everyone takes the same basic math program...but beyond that, I'm guessing its probably the Aero E's that have the most math.

    .Solving Ohm's Law with V1,V2,V3

    Hey thanks a lot Bill! I got the right answers finally(what others had). I think I actually understand it, going to do some other examples soon to ensure, but thank you! I really appreciated you help!

    .Solving Ohm's Law with V1,V2,V3

    Ok, I understand how you got those equations I guess(after looking them over)...but then how do I solve for each item? I can solve for your equation #6 for I, but then how can I solve the rest? Every other way, I have more equations than unknowns...

    Programs Should I Minor in Physics or Management for Electrical Engineering at McGill?

    Yeah, a minor in management or business is a good choice. I would personally go that route. As engineers, they not only want you to be able to design something, but want you to understand the business side of it and why it should be cheaper,etc. Also the management side, so that you can...

    .Solving Ohm's Law with V1,V2,V3

    Does the voltage at V1 = 5 volts? I found this by finding the resistance in the first circle to be 100+20+100=220 ohms. So, 12/220=.05A. So, 100*.05=5Volts. Is that correct, I'm totally lost? Also, can I use the 12 volts DC like that, or do I need to do something to it?
