engr4533 Thermal Systems Design

This is the web-site for engr4533 Thermal Systems Design.

Announcements -- Updated on May 03 2011

  1. Exam#1 will be this coming Monday (Feb. 14) at 4:00 pm. You may bring the following to the exam:
    1. Your book which you may access for appendix or other tables and charts
    2. A 3x5 in. notecard handwritten front and back (or equivalent area on a piece of paper) with anything you want to write on it. I have suggested to classes before that preparing this is one good way to study to help organize the material in your mind a nd to remember formulas. I am hopeful you don't actually use this much during the exam.
    3. A basic scientific calculator. It should be one approved by the NCEES as shown: here
    4. pencils (please oh please do not use a blue ink pen on the exam).
    5. erasers.
  2. I have placed the complete solutions manual on my door up to problems in Ch. 3 involving minor losses. Please use it! Also please return it as soon as you can to the door and DO NOT photocopy, scan, or otherwise reproduce it. It is a nice privilege to be able to look at this, so please use responsibly. There are lots of good worked problems in it!
  3. If you want to work some minor loss problems, please work any problem: 3.29-3.35 and then consult the solutions (on my door -- see note 3 above). I think that's it, see you on Monday.
