Homework assignment – due Tue 1/29
• Use the Excel spreadsheet on the course web
page to model my office temperature
• Considerations:
– check out the guts of the rather simple spreadsheet
Play with it:
– what happens if heat loss is larger than heater output?
– what happens if heat loss is much smaller than heater output ?
– what happens if these two are about matched (or equal?)
– is there a way to improve the “brain” of our heater ?
– what does this model well, where does it fail?
