My thermo exam...

Had my 3rd last exam ever today... it didn't go too well - I somehow discovered a perpetual motion machine - a turbine that put out more energy than a corresponding compressor used up to run the machine. Sheer genius!

Then we had a problem that was quite literally "off the charts". A process was meant to be cooling and ended up heating it so the air was over 100 degrees (ie off the psychrometric chart that we were given).

And then there was a problem with finding the required surface area of a heat exchanger... I though all the formulae would be given. I was wrong.

So yeah... bugger.

Blog... Isn't it about time?

And I'm back... just quick before my exams.

Got three of them.

I've submitted my thesis. I went to the second half of the pot luck formal. Mum's in France. I'm meant to be racing an HPV at Maryborough Victoria late November, planning to go to Perth early December, new years on Flinders, maybe, before going up to Yamba/Maclean, there's touch footy, preseason umpire training, diving, writing and general holidaying also coming up... but no job. Oh well, I might get a holiday.
