I was asked to solve a fluids problem that involved bernoulli's equation, head loss in a pipe, reynold's number, moody diagram, and calculating the size of a pump given certain circumstances. I was asked about the different types of heat transfer, how they were involved in a computer, and whether laminar or turbulent flow had better heat transfer. They asked me if I remembered the equation for radiation and the name of the book I used for my heat transfer course. I was asked a question about how the natural frequency would change for a beam fixed at both ends when the stiffness increased. I was asked about filtering and transistors.
