We love reading the positive test taking experiences we receive each day ! Keep 'em coming. We strive to keep the book updated and free from errors. As we tell our students, they are so much more capable than what they currently believe. It really isn't about passing the test, it's about creating kids who now believe in themselves.
I really believe that what makes this book very popular is not the actual prep questions and explanations, it's the upfront sections in which we explain the "Inner Game" of test taking. We try to show that if you can visualize your goals, then it can come true. In life, you get what you see (in your mind)... and only then is it possible. Most of the positive reviews we receive have to do with not only how the book helped them pass the test but also the upfront sections as well. We thank you.
You can never be greater than the Self-Image that you currently have of yourself in your mind's eye. We try to show how to create a better self-image, in order to reach your goals. By understanding that thoughts are things, you literally become what you think about all day long. Your current Self-Image is like a thermostat, and it is designed to keep you where you are currently at in order to preserve energy! Your subconscious mind controls your every move.. so the trick is to learn how to change it in order to unlock your full potential.
The chip is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces are insulated, while the front surface is exposed to a coolant.
If 92 W are being dissipated in circuits mounted to the back surface of the chip, what is the steady-state temperature difference between back and front surfaces?
Hint: Does this sound complicated to you? If you do your research, you will find that most FE Exam questions can be solved by using only one formula! You can pass the exam by just becoming familiar with the basic equations in each topic area. It's that simple. This is what our book is all about. Forget theory and over complications used by our professors. It's time to transition to real life. All of the equations are found in the FE Handbook. The secret to passing is Problem Recognition (literally).
Doesn't this problem sound like conduction? This is a basic heat transfer problem. What famous equation uses conduction? The essence of our book describes the importance of knowing the layout of the FE Handbook (since the FE Exam is an open book exam!). If you haven't already, download the FE Handbook from NCEES.org. You have to create an account first. Now, use the search function (Control -F) on the pdf to look up "conduction".
What equation do you see? Yes, it's that easy!
Solution: In the FE Handbook - you will find the equation:
The question is asking for the Temperature Difference, so let's rearrange the equation to find delta T.
The rest is just plug and chug. Be careful though, you need to convert all the mm to m.
ΔT=kw2t⋅P= 0.003m⋅ 92W
------------------
175 W/m∙K (.009 m)^2
= 19.47 K
Are you ready for the 2022 FE Exam? Think you are ready to pass it? Are you up to the Challenge of trying to solve 6 FE Exam questions? Let's see how well you do.
This sample set will let you see how the problems are structured in the BOOK and show you examples with detailed step-by-step solutions that reference page numbers from the FE Handbook. It will give you a honest chance to evaluate the practice exams and try it before you buy it. These are basic type FE Exam questions for any discipline - which means, you should know how to work them !
Problem Recognition Skills:
The key to passing the FE Exam really comes down to developing problem recognition skills. You'll learn more about this in the BOOK and how to take advantage of it. Also, during the exam, you will learn simply use the search function on the FE Handbook to find the right equation and then solve it. Must problems only require a few steps in order to solve it. Of course, there will be hard problems, but just skip those. Therefore, all you need is a set of solved example problems in each topic area. It’s that simple.
That is the purpose of this book. Don't worry if you can't solve these problems. You CAN pass this exam - with a little help and encouragement from the book. The first step is just getting started. Many of our customers find us too late and have one - or a few - failed attempts already. But if you fall into this category, don't worry. It really doesn't matter how many times you failed before.. you only have to be right ONE TIME! You only have to pass this Exam ONE TIME.
It doesn't matter how many times you win, all that matters is how many times you get knocked down but get back up and try again - because the Law of Averages will tend to go in your favor if you keep trying and never quit. That works in life, passing an exam, working your way up the company ladder, starting an online business, etc.
Please download the FE Handbook from NCEES.org to use while working these problems.
Problems 1- 6:
1) The piston of a hydraulic actuator is 1.5 inches diameter and is subject to a hydraulic line pressure of 1500 psi. Calculate what the cross-sectional area should be (in2) if the design stress for the piston is 20,000 psi:
(A) .132 square inches
(B) .232 Square inches
(C) .332 Square inches
(D) .432 square inches
(2) A newly designed square semi conductor chip (k = 175 W/m∙K) has a width w = 9 mm on a side and a thickness t = 3 mm.
The chip is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces are insulated, while the front surface is exposed to a coolant.
If 92 W are being dissipated in circuits mounted to the back surface of the chip, what is the steady-state temperature difference between back and front surfaces?
