1. Look up “heat engines” on the Internet. There will be a lot of technical discussion meant for engineers. Can you find any novel heat engines? Look up “nitinol engine.” Can you find heat engines that claim to work on small temperature differences? Do they discuss the poor efficiency that you get with small temperature differences (from the efficiency equation)?

1.     In the wake of the global financial crisis, there has been a lot of discussion about whether banking is ‘socially useful’. Use the simple model of macro-economy and financial system to explain the benefits to the economy of the banking system and its role in stabilization policy. What factors are not considered in the basic model which could lead to the banking system destabilizing the economy? Could these activities be considered socially useful?

Customers experiencing technical difficulty with their internet cable hookup may call an 800 number for technical support. It takes the technician between 18 seconds and 13 minutes to resolve the problem. The distribution of this support time follows the uniform distribution. Suppose we wish to find the middle 50% of the problem-solving times. What are the end points of these two times? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
