    How would I go about getting into the oil/gas industry?

    Cheers! Will take the MEng advice into account... I was thinking about trying to get away with doing a BEng (this missus' is a year older than me, so an MEng would mean she'd be working for two years before I have a job!) but if an MEng would be beneficial than i'll do that. I'll probably be...

    How would I go about getting into the oil/gas industry?

    I'm currently studying a degree in Materials Science and Engineering at a good University in England. My course is a 3 year BEng but I could change to an MEng if necessary. I was just wondering what i'd need to do to make myself stand out: What skills could I acquire at Uni to help me out...

    Thermodynamics Homework: Ideal Gas Compression and Work Calculation

    Cheers! An ideal gas at 0.1 MPa pressure and 298 K expands reversibly and adiabatically from 0.50 dm3 to 1.00 dm3. (For this question, take the molar heat capacity at constant volume to be: CV,m = 12.48 J K-1 mol-1). Calculate: (i) its final temperature, [4 marks] I used the formula...

    Thermodynamics Homework: Ideal Gas Compression and Work Calculation

    Homework Statement i.) An ideal gas occupies a volume of 2.5 dm3 at a pressure of 0.3 MPa. If the gas is compressed isothermally by a constant external pressure, Pext, so that the final volume is 0.5 dm3, what is the smallest value that the external pressure can have? [2 marks] ii.)How...
