Introduction |
It describes what TEST is about, and how students, educators, and professionals of thermofluids sciences can benefit from this one-of-a-kind comprehensive suite of software tools. |
|
Getting Started (Short Video Clip) |
A must read for first time users, this section covers the nuts and bolts of running TEST - creating an account, tuning up your browser with the necessary plug-ins (Flash and Java), managing your account, etc., - before taking it for a test drive. |
|
My First TEST Solution (Short Video Clip) |
A gas is heated in a rigid container and we are asked to find the change in some properties. Through this simple problem, we explore some of the most interesting features of a state daemon. |
|
My Second TEST Solution (Short Video Clip) |
A steam power plant running on a simple Rankine cycle is selected as the model problem. This exercise highlights some of the advanced features of TEST. More hands-on examples can be found in the Daemons section organized into different categories. |
|
Examples/Problems |
Fifteen chapters of examples and problems are linked from the task bar. Most problem descriptions are enriched with system diagrams, animations, and links to TEST and manual solutions. Their organization is discussed here. |
|
Navigation |
There are two ways to get to a desired page in TEST - the step-by-step navigation or use of the Map. This section of the tutorial explains how to locate the right daemon for a given problem. |
|
Daemons |
Hands-on examples and background on different types of daemons - thermodynamic calculators that form the core of TEST - are presented here. We recommend that you gain some experience with the state daemons before working with the daemon of your choice. |
|
Feedback |
Many features that you see in TEST today (for instance, drawing constant property lines in thermodynamic diagrams) are direct results of user feedback. You will be surprised how fast we incorporate user feedback into TEST. Please send your comments directly to author@thermofluids.net or use the form below. Thank you!
