The Makin9561 thread

Aerospace??

I'm intrigued...

Lol really? You're the first girl I have ever heard say that. I noticed you are into cars. Should I calculate the entropy of the engine of your camaro? Or how about finding the area of your car in a spherical coordinate.

Hell girl I can even find the electric potential your car has between two objects.

[Camaro_91_00]

That's intense.

I would love to be able to know the displacement AND entropy of my engine! How would you go about doing that?

[Makin9561]

To find the entropy of your engine, you need to use the second law of thermodynamics.

The equation is the derivative of entropy= infinitesimal transfer of heat in a closed system, as long as the system is driving a reversible process/divided by the equilibrium temperature of your engine.

To calculate the equilibrium temperature we need the efficiency, which is a formula I can't format on here.

But once we have the efficiency, we can use a dot product to multiply it with certain temperatures we set.

To find the transfer of heat, you'll have to take the line integral of the transfer of heat, and equilibrium temperature, and equate to 0. But we want the absolute value and we have to use the third law of thermodynamics for that.

After we get that, we just plug it all in.

Fun isn't it?

Gosh, I might just look into this.
If I could understand it, I would be more fascinated then I am now!
That's amazing...
Here I thought dyno tuning was complicated, and you come in explaining thermodynamics and equilibrium temperature...

[Makin9561]

Ay girl, if you ever need an equation figured out I'm your man.

[Camaro_91_00]

Ay girl, if you ever need an equation figured out I'm your man.

For sure, there's lots of fuel/air/spark ratios that I will probably need help with at some point :P

[Makin9561]

Lol are you an engineer too? I haven't work with fluids yet, but I'm starting that up next semester.

Truthfully I don't even want to be an engineer. I just think it's cool knowledge to have, and it might be useful if I become a pilot for the military one day.

I don't quite think it would be considered being an 'engineer', but I am studying Automotive high performance and Diesel mechanics. Diesel is my major, as there is more money involved in diesel, but High performance is definitely my favorite out of the two.

Oh hell yea, high performance was one of my favorite subjects in physics. When we did work, it was the least bitchy out of the equations to turn out and calculate.

What does "diesel" pertain to?

I LOVE high performance. I think it's so fascinating to completely wipe out the entire ECU of a car, and completely reprogram it the way you want. I would specialize in dyno tuning (I have an odd fascinations with dynos...). Currently, we're just learning the boring basics (When you go through high performance, you have to start off learning basic mechanics, which is a bit of a bore... right now we moved on to shop safety; making sure the cars are strapped down securely, fire hazard, spill hazard, blah blah...).

And diesel pertains to anything that has a compression-ignition engine.
So, semi's, school buses, basic diesel trucks, etc.

[Makin9561]

You know what I'm talking about. Out of all the physics I've taken, electricity and magnetism was my favorite, and a lot of our labs dealt with power units like ECU's.

When you deal with Diesel cycle in the engines, hit me up. It has a bit of thermo in it, and thermo was one of my more favorite engineering subjects(fuck statics)

Glad to meet someone who shares the same interest I do. I don't think I can have this conversation with most girls at my university, who are majoring in shit like business.

The ECUs are fascinating. A bit confusing still, but I am getting the hang of it. And I am intrigued by forced induction, which just happens to be a section of high performance
This would be my horrendous drawing of how a supercharger works:


Lmao...

I picked Diesel mechanics because:

A. There's a lot of money in diesel mechanics. A lot of people are scared of diesels, which confuses me. It's really not that different then combustion-ignition vehicles. Just a couple big differences, but still the same basic concept. A rotation assembly that is fueled by mini-explosions within the combustion chamber. It's just missing the 'spark' out of the fuel, air, spark that you see in regular automobiles. But you still deal with cranks, pistons, heads, a valve-train, a cam, etc... just no spark plugs and a different fuel.
B. I do basic mechanics on almost a daily basis, I like to learn new things.
C. Diesels are just cool! You ever seen a cammed diesel?


And I understand. I unfortunately get that a lot. Business is boring >.<
I couldn't work in an office, I would go absolutely nuts...

[Makin9561]

I'm impressed by your knowledge. I admit that even though I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, and I can plug in equations all day, I suck at the practical. If you asked me to assemble something I could never do it.

Heat transfer is such a cool subject in general. We see how it affects major things in our lives such as diesel engines.

I just always liked science in general, and just learning in general. I always liked gaining knowledge on things like physics, math, and things like that. Guess just how my brain was wired. But I agree with you on the office, I want to see how my things directly influence something. I always wanted to work with the coolest and best technology, plugging in things at an office just doesn't stimulate me. Maybe I can finally see that cammed diesel by working on enough technology one day.

PS: Nice drawing.

Duramax Lope

Really? I seem to work the opposite.. I can't learn anything unless I'm putting it into practice. I can write notes all day long, but I won't learn until I am SHOWN. It took me the longest time figuring out how an engine works, until I decided to get a junk engine at a junkyard and take it apart, and drawing mental notes as I went along..

And I agree. The world works in fascinating ways! I love learning about it... Just the composition of things fascinates me; And automotive is my LIFE. Not a hobby, but a life. So I love learning about them, they are truly amazing.

PS: Thanks :3

[Makin9561]

Aww yeah(What's your name? I never got it). I just got a 10/20 in one of my quizzes.

For comparison my friend got a 2/20, and the class average for quizzes is roughly a 35%

Tonya

And 10/20 isn't bad (But not good, either xD. Just kidding, I no make fun...) But if the class average is 35%, the quiz was too hard, or you were the only one who paid attention...

[Makin9561]

Nice to meet you Tonya, my name is Andrew.

Yeah I've gotten used to this with my classes. The professors do it because some crap with histograms and finding the "true" average. They make the quizzes/tests really hard, everyone fails it and then everything gets curved to hell and back.

And hey, I'm sure this will impress you but....

The car I drove back in HS

Aww yeah:

[Camaro_91_00]

Yeah, that's a bit unfair, eh?
They OUGHT to make the tests to where the students have a fighting chance, especially in a subject as complicated as what you are studying...

And awh Gotta love gas mileage... lmao :P That's alright, my 'first car' didn't even run...

[Makin9561]

Lol yeah, it gets frustrating at times, but it's funny when some one is like "Holy shit...I got a SIXTY!!!!"

One of the dudes actually walked out on the quiz. He got the paper, looked at it, and left. My friends and I were all like "Fuck yeah lower that curve!"

So what's your favorite car? I admit I'm not that car savvy, but I can tell you my favorite plane.

Uhm, yeah. That is a hint to the teacher that the test needs to be a tad easier...

And It wouldn't fair to make me choose ONE. I've actually been very loyal to Camaros, but any muscle 67-72, that doesn't have a Ford badge, would be a dream.
I would love to get my hands on a AMC Javelin or a AMC Amx

I've been considering getting a Suzuki Hayabusa for the summers, due to the gas prices...
