Introduction |
It describes what TEST is about, and how students, educators, and professionals of thermofluids sciences can benefit from this one-of-a-kind comprehensive courseware bundled with a suite of software tools. |

Getting Started
|
A must read for first time users, this section covers the nuts and bolts of running TEST - creating an account, tuning up your browser with the necessary plug-ins (Flash and Java), managing your account, installing TEST from a CD, etc. |
| | |
| Video clips of browser settings, java, calculator, etc. (no audio) |
|
My First TEST Solution |
A gas is heated in a rigid container and we are asked to find the change in some properties. Through this simple problem, we explore some of the most interesting features of a state daemon, which is the building block of most other daemons. |

|
My Second TEST Solution |
A steam power plant running on a simple Rankine cycle is selected as a model problem. This exercise highlights some of the advanced features of TEST. More hands-on examples can be found in the Daemons section later. |

|
Daemons |
Find out how to use the daemons - thermodynamic calculators that constitute the backbone of TEST - to verify a manual solution and perform what-if studies. The state daemons (sub-section 3), which are the building blocks of all other daemons, should be mastered first. |
| | |
| Hands-on Examples | : |

| | |
|
RIAs |
Discover the RIAs - graphical thermodynamic simulators (Rich Internet Apps). Find out how much fun it is to perform powerful analysis of a complex system using the deceptively simple graphical interface of a RIA. |
