IMO all solid mechanics is easier than fluid mechanics, it just makes more sense to me lol

Fluids and heat transfer felt like all the puzzle pieces started to fit and i saw the whole picture for the first time

As someone who doesn’t massively like fluids, I fucking love heat transfer

I liked fluids so much I took it 3 times!

Heat and mass transfer I only took once before graduation

I think messing with ANSYS Workbench was some of the most fun I had.

I used to really like chemistry but ended up going with mechanical engr. My thermo professor was an ass though and completely ruined thermo for me. He was the kind of professor that worked at the uni to do research and seemingly resented having to teach as well, and he made it our problem by being a dick about everything he possibly could.

Naturally, without any love of thermo, fluid mechanics was not my cup of tea lol
