Hi everyone, I'm a recent mechanical engineering graduate and am considering doing a PhD. Ideally I would like to get involved in a topic that is directly related to non-linear dynamics and chaos but am quite overwhelmed with information. I have an interest in automotive engineering as well...

No it's not.

Hi, I'm trying to select a thesis based on firearms and am thinking of doing an acoustics based topic, namely, something how the harmonics of the barrel during firing affects accuracy, and how to reduce this effect (any variation of this really). The problem is that there isn't much...

Well the thing is, the problem I have is that the heat exchanger is part of a bigger system that includes a compressor and a turbine, in which I need to find the turbine power output. My initial plan was to take the compressor and turbine into one system, which means I then have two flow rates...

I'm just wondering how one would actually solve for the final enthalpy of air after entering a heat exchanger when the only known values are initial pressure and temperature before heating. I'm assuming that if air is modeled as an ideal gas you can just do (Cp)T, but how would you be able to...
