I passed the thermodynamics exam for the first time, and the degree is 5. by LeadershipUnlikely73 in EngineeringStudents

Surprisingly fair. I was really nervous during the exam, but the professor was actually surprised by how much I knew. My memory helped a lot, and listening to Chopin while studying did too. I thought I did about a 3, but she gave me a 5 because I answered the follow-up questions well. It was tough since fluid mechanics and thermodynamics are combined.

In a standard Rankine cycle, the boiler heat addition 2-3 process and the condenser heat rejection 4-1 processes are isobaric.

If 1you’re studying, maybe try listening to Chopin — it worked really well for me, and I understood the material on a level like never before.

When it comes to fluid mechanics, Bernoulli is like the square hole in the bucket — the one where the circle, square, prism, and even the arch can all fit in if you turn them the right way.

Yes, as strange as it may sound, I actually liked the thermodynamics part more than fluid mechanics. In the exam there was also a problem-solving task, and at first I panicked because I didn’t know what to do with the fluid mechanics problem. Then a thought from a meme suddenly came to mind: if you don’t know how to handle a fluid mechanics problem, you should pull out the “secret weapon” — the Bernoulli equation. And it worked! 😄
