Nuclear Engineering in Australia?

AI Thread Summary
In Australia, there are no specific nuclear engineering degrees available, but students can pursue related fields such as mechanical or electrical engineering to enter the nuclear sector. Completing a general engineering degree can provide the foundational knowledge needed for a career in nuclear reactor design and construction. It's advisable to focus on subjects that support these engineering disciplines during high school. Networking with professionals in the field and seeking internships can also be beneficial for gaining relevant experience. Pursuing further studies or certifications in nuclear engineering may be necessary after completing an undergraduate degree.

Nuclear Engineering in Australia??

Hi, I am currently in my last year of high school and I'm doing all the subject that will allow me enterance into universities in my state to study engineering. I'm from western australia. Does anyone know any information on what engineering course leads into building nuclear reactors ect, as there are no specific 'nuclear' engineering degrees i can undertake.

Thanks

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

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...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

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...
