    Memorize the fundamental equations of course, but you also need to develope an understanding of what these equations mean. Anyone can plug numbers into an equation, but an engineer needs to be able to completly understand what is going on. Make sure you read your book, and pay attention to the example problems in there.

    Also, if you are having trouble with analyzing plug flow, or packed bed reactors, try using a software package like polymath to solve the DE's for you. This will really make life easier.

    When I took reaction engineering I found the best way to understand the material was to memorize the fundamental equations for each reactor type and the common place subsitution equations. This was probly my favorate class up until senior design because we had to design a reactor for our final project in the class (i.e do the sizing, controls, cost analysis)

    Your equipment seems to have had a gravity circuit for the cylinder and towel rail and a pumped circuit for the only pipe heating equipment. The plumber has outfitted a 2 port valve to the the recent pumped wide-spread circuit that feeds the coil contained in the cylinder, no mission there through the undeniable fact that is an ability saving characteristic, and also to the heating circuit feels like your landlord has been very lovable and has performed the minimum required to adhere to section L of the construction Regs section 2 My wager is that the cylinder pumped wide-spread is taking the path of least resistance (by the coil) and practically with the help of-passing the tees feeding the bathtub rad. answer will be to in positive condition a "tongue tee / diverter tee" to this circuit - ideally earlier the zone valve countless the previous solutions are achievable faults, my suspicions are : equipment nicely and quite sludged up Feed and boom tank empty or blockage in "chilly feed pipe from F+E tank" to equipment will be nicely worth your at the same time as contacting your close by council to ask in the journey that they have got been notified of the works with the help of Self Certification, and ask their Inspectors to take a seem. also take a seem on the gas possibility-free internet website and note if the plumber develop into registered, if he wasn't you've a good bargaining chip. verify your landlord has the once a year statutory gas safe practices examine performed on your boiler.
