Engineers need to acquire "Back-of-the-Envelope" survival skills to
obtain rough quantitative answers to real-world problems,
particularly when working on projects with enormous complexity and
very limited resources. In the case studies treated in this book,
we show step-by-step examples of the physical arguments and the
resulting calculations obtained using the quick-fire method. We
also demonstrate the estimation improvements that can be obtained
through the use of more detailed physics-based Back-of-the-Envelope
engineering models. These different methods are used to obtain the
solutions to a number of design and performance estimation problems
arising from two of the most complex real-world engineering
projects: the Space Shuttle and the Hubble Space Telescope
satellite.
