AI Thread Summary
Mining engineering, geological engineering, and mechanical engineering are being compared for their program difficulty and job prospects. Mechanical engineering is noted for its versatility, while mining and geological engineering may be less challenging in terms of math and physics. The discussion suggests that a more focused inquiry on mining engineering would yield better responses. Engaging with the community by sharing existing knowledge can lead to more productive discussions. Overall, thorough research and effort in framing questions are encouraged to receive valuable insights.

Im currently looking into mining engineering, geological engineering and mechanical engineering, and was wondering what I could find out about each one. Right now the one I want to know the most about is the mining engineering. I was hoping to find out about how difficult the programs would be compared to each other, and what the prospects for jobs would be once i got a degree in that field.

Choose mechanical engineering, its more versatile. Depending on where you go mining/geological engineering might be easier from a maths/physics difficulty standpoint. If you really want to know more about mining engineering, you probably picked the wrong title for your post. Consider posting what you do know about those areas of engineering that way posters don't waste their time telling you something you already know. Additionally, they also will know you put some effort into using your search engine. Engineers tend to not like helping people perceived as lazy.
 

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 '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...
