This artifact is a lab report that investigates the thermal properties of the DeWalt DCD701 drill. It researches several thermal factors: temperature data, total energy lost as heat, heat transfer to force convected air, heat flows, and transmission heat to gain more information about the heat produced in the drill and where to account for it. Calculations were completed using thermodynamic relations as well as information obtained from previous labs about the insertion and removal of screws.

This artifact represents my ability to obtain quantitative data and explain how it relates to qualitative, real-life functions. It also displays my teamwork/time management skills and adaptability. I performed a formal investigation into energy efficiency of a hand-held power tool, and although I focused on the transmission heat and heat transfer to force convected air aspect of this deliverable, I also had to familiarize myself with the other portions completed by the group and understand calculations on that end for the final presentation of this report.
