If you wish to save fuel and you're going to leave your warm house for a half-hour or so on a very cold day, should you turn your thermostat down a few degrees, turn it off altogether, or let it remain at the room temperature you desire? This question should elicit much discussion!
These are considered gyroscopic flight instruments.
(Only first attempt please) Only answer the following question using thermal circuit: What is the rate of heat transfer between hot oil and outside air?
