Question:

how has aluminum been used?

what has been its importance throughout history and in the modern world?

Answer:

Dear Tink, My guess is that if the walls or attic aren't insulated properly or at all I'm sure the doors and windows leak too.I would definitely try some weather stripping.Depending on the type of windows you have go to Menard's etcand see what they have to try and seal them up,you have plastic over them too.Check outside around the windows and check for huge gaps and holes.You may have to caulk around them.Definitely do your doors.Make sure their latching tightly and don't have excess amount of movement.Inspect the threshold and make sure the door has a good seal and sweep on the bottom.On a windy day you should be able to feel around the door and windows for problem areas.Good Luck
Pretty well, rather, due to the fact that climate is a chaotic method, so forecasting isn't an designated technologyFunny, even though, the way it traditionally turns out to rain for the Boat Show at Crick, Northamptonshire, in which it's been tipping down in these days.
outer skin for airplanes, surgical tools, car partsSome of the many uses for aluminium are in: Transportation (automobiles, airplanes, trucks, railroad cars, marine vessels, bicycles etc.) Packaging (cans, foil, etc.) Water treatment Treatment against fish parasites such as Gyrodactylus salaris Construction (windows, doors, siding, building wire, etc.) Consumer durable goods (appliances, cooking utensils, etc.) Electrical transmission lines (aluminium components and wires are less dense than those made of copper and are lower in price[1], but also present higher electrical resistanceMany localities prohibit the use of aluminium in residential wiring practices because of its higher resistance and thermal expansion value.) Machinery MKM steel and Alnico magnets, although non-magnetic itself Super purity aluminium (SPA, 99.980% to 99.999% Al), used in electronics and CDs Powdered aluminium, a commonly used silvering agent in paintAluminium flakes may also be included in undercoat paints, particularly wood primer — on drying, the flakes overlap to produce a water resistant barrier Anodised aluminium is more stable to further oxidation, and is used in various fields of construction, as well as heat sinking Most electronic appliances that require cooling of their internal devices (like transistors, CPUs - semiconductors in general) have heat sinks that are made of aluminium due to its ease of manufacture and good heat conductivityCopper heat sinks are smaller although more expensive and harder to manufacture.
