If spring deflected 30.48 cm. due to gross wright of elevator, 100 kg, determine: a. wire diameter, Dw b. mean diameter of coil, Dm c. number of active coils, Nc Use: C = 8 G = 808720 kg/cm^2
R Value: Wall: 0.961m2k/w Floor: 0.676m2k/w Roof: 0.7465m2k/w In a table format show with calculations and research how much money you can save by installing a 115mm layer of insulation (R2.9) in your walls, floor and ceiling over a 5 and 10 year period. Consider the capital costs. Hint: State the current R value of each component. Convert to U value. Calculate new R value of each component (walls, floor and ceiling). Convert to U value. Use Q(W)=A*(change in U)*temperature change. Determine price for installation of new insulation. Determine price saved based on less heat loss through each component separately, then add all values together, and calculate per 5 years and per 10 years. Present all of this information in a table. You do not need to draw any diagrams, simply add the R value in series with your current components R values. Assume the energy cost is 25 cents kWh

Question 4: A person informs an engineer that he frequently feels cooler in the summer when standing in front of an open refrigerator. The engineer tells him that he is only “imagining things” because there is no fan in the refrigerator to blow the cool air over him. A lively argument ensues. Whose side of the argument do you take? Why?
In the United States, energy for household heating is generally sold using English units, e.g., therm, gal, and cord. A house in Wisconsin uses 1200 therms of thermal energy during the heating season. Calculate the cost of fuel if the furnace uses (a) natural gas with an efficiency of 70%; (b) No. 2 fuel oil, efficiency 65%; (c) kerosene, efficiency 99.9% (unvented); and (d) wood with l5% moisture with an efficiency of 50%. Use the data in Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. The efficiencies are based on the HHV. Assume the cost of natural gas is $8/MBtu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, the cost of kerosene is $3.50/gal, and the cost of wood is $100/cord. Assume the bulk density of cord wood is 30 lbm/ft3 .
