QuikCalc Formulas Now on Equipment Engineering Services Website

QuikCalcs, back-of-the-envelope mechanical engineering formulas, now are accessible on the Equipment Engineering Services website at www.iee.com.

QuikCalcs include 26 Heat Transfer, Fluids, Dynamics, and HVAC formulas. These "in the ballpark" formulas enable engineers to make quick estimates, see if an idea is feasible, or check to see if results from more complex analyses are sensible. Each formula includes an explanatory note on why and when to use it.

QuikCalcs also include 43 question and solution examples. The challenging questions provide an opportunity to test knowledge by solving a problem before viewing a formula. Solutions describe exactly how a specific formula solves a question.

The formulas and examples are from the 2002 handbook, QuikCalcs, by Dyer Harris, PhD, PE, President of Equipment Engineering Services.

Equipment Engineering Services, a mechanical and electrical engineering company since 1997, offers custom machinery development, manufacturing process development, and specialized consulting services.
