I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO ME HERE - sorry caps lock - I was better at integration of mechanical systems in nuclear engineering haha I thought this introductory nuclear chemistry course would be a good addition toward getting a nuclear engineering graduate certificate with...

I am doing a study guide for a nuclear chemistry introductory course FINAL EXAM. A few of the questions have me confused because, although they are asked in a multiple-choice format, the prof. has indicated that multiple choices may be correct for given problems and that you must not only choose...

Yes, we are going to be using this example to compare different materials and focus on what material we should consider. Then factoring in cost of materials and what processes are involved in production and how that leads to the properties of the final product. The image is what he posted...

Problem attached. I would appreciate anyone's help. I am an alloy chemist working on an MS degree in materials engineering and have come to the mechanical engineering part of the program and am feeling a bit behind. Deriving an equation for this case is proving to be difficult for me although...

There is currently a lot of opportunity in materials. I cannot say that I have looked into it from the mechanical side but, I do know that industry, in general, is in demand for materials scientists. I am currently getting my M. S. in materials engineering and have already had recruiters calling...

I got my B.S. in biochemistry and then went back three years later. I am working on my M.S. in materials science/engineering and nuclear engineering while working in a steel mill. I had a lot of negative thoughts as to how this time around might be very different. New subject, I never really...

@Astronuc and @jim hardy for your sharing your experiences. I will keep them in mind as I move forward. I would say that my current job and my entrance into the realm of materials engineering came by serendipity. I mean, my dad has sold steel since he graduated college but, I never considered...

I was definitely trying to overdue the reactor power calculation. Thank you both very much Astronuc and Jim Hardy! I believe I was able to answer both of those questions correctly! I really appreciate your time and your thoughts in the effort to help me out! I have one last quick personal...

I am still confused how all of that will get me to number of steps of rod motion... hmmmm

OK! I found the answer to that one: During a plant startup or cooldown, the steam dump system is operated in the steam pressure mode. As shown in Figure 11.2-1, when the steam dump mode selector switch is placed in the steam pressure position, the relay associated with the mode selector switch...

OK the first question that I posted correlates with this one,The Unit is at 5% power using the Steam Dump system (steam bypass to condenser). The steam dump system is in the steam pressure mode of operation controlling steam header pressure at 1005 psig. The station wants to raise reactor...

Good questions, For the first question, I know that I copied and pasted it exactly because I also thought I was missing a detail needed to answer it. -I am going to look through the questions and make sure a side note was not put anywhere saying (Assume ( )... for the next # of questions.)...

HELLO PEOPLE! Sorry for the enthusiasm but, this is my first post. I am in the process of getting my masters in material science and engineering and I liked my nuclear materials course so I decided to jump right into the integration of mechanical systems in nuclear engineering this summer. I...
