Hello all,
I've got a question for folks who have taken the FE exam. I've been doing some thermo prep questions, and I've come across several sample questions (Non-NCEES written) that give properties of steam at odd points, say 1.8 MPa. In the reference handbook I'm using (2008; the 2011 PDF Thermodynamics section looks identical) the steam table only goes to 1 MPa. On the FE exam, will there be questions that cannot be answered using the steam tables given in the reference handbook? I can kind of estimate these state points if the table doesn't have them, but I'd rather know the numbers.
I realize that this is a minor detail in the big scheme of the exam, but I'm curious nonetheless.
Thanks!
Drew
