HP and BTU question

[Two Smoker]

Bahahahahahahaha!!!!

[imdying]

the movie left out some interesting stuff that is in the book/audiobook.. the audiobook is quite more involved, more anarchistic and in a more 'audibly' violent way than the movie.. it is 86MB and about 5 hours too.. if you ask nicely, I might upload that audiobook next..

/me asks nicely

/me asks nicely

shall do it then.. my upload of Hitchhiker is uploading at a lousy 7KB/s (and says 1 hour 20 minutes approx.. so I'll start uploading Fight Club after that (if i'm in front of my computer)

Ah,3rd edition - you lucky bugger.I had the 4th edition,it was my Bible and went everywhere with me...in a quiet moment I could take it out and read chapter and verse,a fantastic book.But one day I didn't take it with me and it was stolen from my car.So I got the 6th edition for a replacement - just got to be even better eh? WRONG!! The whole book has changed,there is nothing from the old book in this one,and it's all written in incomprehensable ''new speak'' - it's made for some engineer who has come out of the modern schools,not for hands on engineers who want simple formulas,data and guidance....I hate my 6th edition Bosch Automotive Handbook.

Btu is not mentioned at all,only in the Units of Energy conversion chart.There is talk about the p-V diagram,the thermodynamic cycle,and the T-S diagram,or temerature entropy diagram....um then the Carnot Cycle.Ah! I understand none of it!

the fight club where brad arm-pitt laughs at someone hitting him in the face repeatedly.. the same fight club that edward norton throws himself down several flights of stairs..

Yeah, it's a great wee book. I got it at the start of my 1st professional year at uni on the recommendation of a classmate - He had to get it ordered in especially, as it's not too common. Used in heaps, more so for the general engineering data than the automotive stuff. The fact that it is translated from German does make it a bit obscure at some stages.

As for thermodynamic cycles, the stuff I'm involved in use the Brayton and Rankine cycles, rather than the Carnot...good stuff!
