Greetings everyone,
I am new to these forums but just by looking around a little I see that it is a community I would love to be a part of. I am a 20 year old students of Informatics technology from Greece. I do realize that what I do is not connected directly with physics or engineering.
I kind of plan to go for a mechano-informatics degree later that is why I would like to start studying on my own. Since you people seem to really be knowledgeable which books of physics and/or engineering would you suggest to me? I would like that extra something to study because of what I plan to do after I graduate from my IT course.

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give to me.
If you don't understand something in my post just ask and I will give clarifications.

Welcome to PF, Fu. (There is no disrespect involved in me shortening your name... I just can't remember how to spell it long enough to post, and it saves a lot of time.)
I'm definitely no scholar, but I've been kicking around for a fairly long time. I must admit that I've never heard of the term 'Informatics'. From the word alone, I would surmise that it in some way deals with the automation of information transfer. Am I even close?
 
Thanks for the welcome. There is no problem in name shortening ofcourse. It may be because I am not a native english speaker but I thought that is how it is called in English. Informatics , aka computer science , the science of information(IT).That is what I meant, but I thought it is an english word anyway.

As per the first post I made, any books(or any other sources for that matter) you people could suggest would be greatly appreciated.
 
Welcome. Here are a couple of suggestions to get you going:

1) Use the search function. You can find a lot of previous threads covering a lot of topics.

2) Visit the FAQ/Tutorial forum here:
https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=151

There are tons of links and information that should keep you busy for a while. When you need help, don't be afraid to ask.
 
I will do so. I realize now that I might have been a little hasty coming here asking without searching the forums first. For that I apologise. Well then on to searching then.

Still if anyone who has ever had similar background with me and would like to "break in" physics/engineering say so in this topic.

Also thanks FredGarvin for the help :)
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
