Problem Solving Methodology As engineers, one is expected to solve problems in the real world and very often, our solutions are reviewed by peers and superiors. An organized solution allows others to quickly understand what has been done and the flow of thought. A statement about the method of solution may also be included for clarity. In this course, you are expected to solve all homework problems, quizzes, and exam problems following the Methodology discussed below. Homework problems that do not follow the Problem Solving Methodology will not be graded.  Begin each problem on a new page. Do not write on the back of the page.  Briefly state the problem; do not repeat the problem statement. Use appropriate symbols to list known quantities.  Briefly state what is to be calculated.  Draw a schematic of the physical system. If conservation laws are used, indicate the required control volume or control surface by dashed lines. Use arrows to represent appropriate processes on the schematic.  List any simplifying assumptions that are made.  Compile property values, constants and other values that may be needed in subsequent calculations. Reference the table number from where the values were

• btained. If a graph is used, reference the figure number and the input and output

parameter values.  Solve all problems using variables. Before the final answer is obtained, indicate the full equation with all numerical values substituted. This is particularly important for checking the correctness of units.  Give the final answer to three significant digits. Include appropriate units. A numerical answer without units is meaningless. Box the final answer.  Discuss and comment on the result. This helps give a better physical understanding to the problem and the phenomenon involved. This is intended to help you think beyond ‘plugging and chugging’. It is important that the solution method is correct, coherent and systematic. This way, your thought process and understanding become clear to the reader. From Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer by Frank P. Incropera and David P. DeWitt.
