Notes for Mechanical Engineering Students

Hello there fellow Mechanical Engineering students! It took a long while to conjure this courage of mine to take up blogging my review for the Mechanical Engineering Board Exam. I am taking my time slowly on my review, I am taking it easy at the moment. But of course, we all need to focus, this review is not easy, especially for me. I am not the genius type, and to be honest - I always feel tired when thinking about "reviewing". But I need to man up! This review won't study itself. So follow me on my quest, on my reviews. I will try to publish every lesson I understand, this way I can share my thought and if you like, you can also give advises - which I would really like if you do. Now, let us begin to know which is which and what are the subject or the courses I need to study: The Mechanical Board exam comprises of 3 major parts: 1. Power and Industrial Plant Engineering - this holds 35%      i. Power Plant Engineering   ...

Fluid Mechanics Introduction

"Fluid mechanics is the science of the mechanics of liquids and gases and is based on the same fundamental principles used in mechanics of fluids statistics, kinematics and fluid dynamics. " Well, here we go! The study of FLUIDS! Fluid mechanics deals with the properties and of course the mechanics of fluids. When I was studying the introduction of this subject matter. I, I mean all of us in the classroom were amazed, including our professor - you should have seen his reaction when he told us that Fluids includes GASES! We were all bewildered at that moment, how can gases be fluids? Are gases liquids? Are liquids gases? Talking nonsense we were, but I need to explain to you my readers why were we so shocked by our new found knowledge. Back on our elementary and high school days, we often thought of 3 phases of matter - 1 solids (where all the atoms are compacted to form solids), 2 liquids ( here, the atoms are a bit farther apart from each other), and 3 the ga...
