Finding a solution manual can be a daunting task because your homework would so much easier if only you could find that solution manual.  I had spent years struggling with homework having no way to find the solution, so I had no clue if my answer was correct.  After many years of struggling, I became a self proclaimed expert on getting solution manuals. 

The following methods are almost guaranteed to get you the solutions you need for any common textbook. 

1. BUYING THE ORIGINAL SOLUTIONS MANUAL
• Before the school term starts, the easiest way to prepare is to search Ebay.com and Half.com for the solution manual for your book.  Use terms: “ [author] solution”, “ [title] solution”
2. SEARCH TORRENT WEBSITES
• Visit PirateBay.org, isoHunt.com, or similar Bit Torrent search engines to search for the solution manual.  Very popular textbooks will be available via torrents, but it can be very hit or miss.
3. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND
• When it is late at night and you need a solution “Right NOW”, use Google to save the day.  The trick to search for a solution is to use quotations. 

EXAMPLE:  

To find this solution I would go to google and type:    “Water at” “exits to the standard” “split nozzle” “Duct Areas”
