Using the heat pumps instead of the heaters : A house is kept at 22oC in the winter by means of electric heaters. On a cold day, the heaters are on for 18 hours and use an average power of 5 kW. How much power would be saved if a heat pump with a COP of 2.0 was to be used instead?

Design the svaj curves for the follower using polynomials : Equally spaced parts, with the distance between the parts being 10 inches, are coming on a conveyor belt. A machine tool has to operate on the part for 1 second as the part is moving on the conveyor. The speed of the conveyor belt is 5 in/second.
