How to Navigate - TEST Tutorial

Tutorial (TOC) > Problems and Examples

A. Problems
This part of the tutorial shows you how TEST organizes and presents problem descriptions.

Problems TOC: Chapter-end problems are linked from the task bar through the Problems (see Fig. A.1) link. In a separate window, launch TEST and then click on this link. Then click on a particular chapter, say, chapter 4, and you will see the following problem page - Analysis of Open Steady Systems.

Fig. A.1 Click on the Problems link on the task bar.

Navigation: Each problems page has its own control panel located at the top of the window (see the red arrows in Fig. A.3). Move the pointer over the T.O.C. button and a menu appears below which links you to all other chapters. You can get back to the table of content by clicking the TOC button. The little green triangles bracketing the chapter name point to the next or previous chapter. Also notice the problems/examples tab at the right margin of the control panel that allows you to switch between problems and examples. Finally, right under the chapter name you will find links to different sections of the chapter.

Problem Description: Browse down Chapter - 4 and take a look at a few problems. Problem 4-1-15 (see Fig. A.4 below) is a typical problem - problem number 15 from chapter 4, section 1. Note that any associated figure, animation, manual or TEST solution, are all referred by the same designation as the problem number. Symbols [mE], [mEE] , etc., right after the problem number, indicates involvement of mass, energy, and entropy equations in the analysis. after the problem number indicates that the problem may involve mass, energy, and entropy equations. The what-if scenario is intended to be solved using TEST, for which the TEST solution (linked) provides the necessary TEST codes, discussed separately in the Tutorial (see tutorial T.O.C.), to jump start the analysis.

Click on the schematic of the nozzle, and the window splits into two parts with the animation appearing at the bottom (see Fig. A.5 below). You can resize the bottom window by positioning the pointer on the divider's upper border, and dragging it up or down.

The manual solution (see Fig. A.6) is available only to approved educators.

B. Examples
Use the examples tab to switch to the Examples page or click the Examples link on the task bar to go the table of content. The organization of examples is identical to the Problems section. Manual solutions to the examples are accessible by all users.

Fig. B.1 The Examples link takes you to the table of content (see Fig. B.2).
