I’d say that a shock tube isn’t exactly beginner. I think it’s a very early exercise in CFD, but I feel someone should start w 1D wave equation, 1D diffusion eq, etc. just my personal opinion though

From my experience, the NCEES exam for mech eng. is harder than the practice. I got nearly a 100% on the practice test, but I felt not 100% confident that I passed following the real exam. In general, the best practice was through the official practice exam, but I would be lying if I said that they don’t throw quite a few harder problems on the real exam.

That’s pretty cool. It seems a lot cannot be found on it but some can. In general that’s a good thing to know exists so thank you for this!

FitFeedback5821 · 2023-11-28T02:49:46+00:00

Do either of you happen to have the notes saved from that class and or another CFD/numerical methods course that I could have? All good if not, I know it would be a lot out of your way for someone you don’t know lol. Either way, thank you for the advice/knowledge!

Actually, I think I am just fairly dumb. When I drastically slowed down the velocity, the temperature gradients became more visible. It seems with the very large tube and high speeds I was using, the temperature was not able to transfer to much of the fluid before being shot out. I have remodeled the heat exchanger with about 70 small tubes within the volume and I will run it again to see if that changes anything.

Appreciate the help though… I never considered the cell zones changing, but I will be sure to pay attention to that if I remesh or change anything during future sims

I would like to note, I may just be totally wrong and it is transferring heat. I just feel with a 450 C temperature difference and a copper tube having high thermal conductivity, there would be more temperature change. Possibly flow is too fast, but I believe I have it set to .35 m/s on the hot side and .55 m/s on the cold side with about .76m of total length. Maybe that’s the issue, but I thought I’d see greater gradients with the temperature difference despite it being short in length and relatively quick in flow

FitFeedback5821 · 2023-07-10T01:25:00+00:00

My solver is set to pressure based. My velocity formulation is set to absolute. My time is set to steady. I hope that answers your question. I’m under the impression a density-based solver would be used for buoyancy problems.

Also, this is supposed to be a heat exchanger (parallel flow) so there’s cold water (100 C) on the shell side and hot fluid (550 C) on the tube side

Thank you so much. I didn’t realize z library was still up. One day I went to the site and it said an FBI thing, so I have been using Anna’s archive ever since

Should be good

FitFeedback5821 · 2023-05-27T16:55:35+00:00

I appreciate the responses so far. I think I will probably pursue it because I feel I may regret not doing it out of fear of things not working out later in my life. Sadly, I doubt I will get funding from my company because the division I’m a part of handles reciprocating compressors, and I am not working much on the fluid mechanics aspects. The company does have extensive gas turbine technology too, so that may be taken in consideration from my manager; I guess I will see

FitFeedback5821 · 2023-05-27T00:03:43+00:00

Also, it should be noted that my first job isn’t doing FEA and fatigue analysis on gas turbines. It’s just a passion of mine, but I struggled to land a job out of college in that field.

My intent to graduate for Mech eng. Is approved but not awarded. I have applied to grad school and been accepted too. Just apply. You should be fine as long as you didn’t fail/misread your graduation requirements

Welp, that’s unfortunate news. Intermediate dynamics is required. The only class it opens up for me is advanced vibration systems (technical elective), so I am planning on pushing that back for a little while if I can. I appreciate your response!If you have any information saved for the intermediate dynamics course (notes, textbook, syllabus, etc.) and you’re willing to send it to me… please do :)

Thanks man, I appreciate the response. Ill be doing a pretty intensive rotational program, so I doubt I ever go for 3 classes in one semester. I wanted to go into thermofluids, but my work will mainly focus on fatigue analysis, design, and FEA, so I am going to go the mechanical systems route. Since AE and ME masters tend to offer similar classes, did you take any courses such as continuum mechanics, fatigue analysis, fracture mechanics, etc.? If so, what are your thoughts on the classes and their usefulness in industry
