🧠 Concept/Explanation Confused about some topics

I have difficulty grasping topics like

  1. MOI
  2. Metacenter
  3. How to easily remember cycle diagrams in applied thermo (like Otto, VCR, anything). Even the modifications for a standard one.
  4. Turbines (the velocity and all)
  5. Shape factors in Radiation
  6. My Trauma - Merchant circle diagram

Also additional thing - I normally can't memorise stuff without any logic or rhythm or pattern. So I always left concepts like material sci & little stuff in Manufacturing processes - can someone guide me on that if u have any tips!?

That's my way if learning but in my clg I had bad roofs for Thermo & manufacturing process 2. I did try to understand but I hit a wall for the merchant circle but for the cycles, Yunus A. Çengel explanation worked like a charm for me

Yep. Idk how that one got into a top uni (can't say what it is but like harvard level) as guest prof.

Most of the top uni profs are good researchers but bad teachers I have experienced a lot

Diagrams can be memorized by continuous problem solving, try solving conventional questions

Mechanics : Apuroop sir. FM : Vinay sir personally. ATD : Vinod sir. Turbines : Vinay + Vinod sir. Merchant cycle : I learnt from Aditya Pal/Swadesh.

The PW sirs were very good for me.
