Thermal Mug Design Project

The idea behind this project was to create a mug design that would cool drinks down to a nice enjoyable temperature.  We worked in a team of 4 students with a time span of roughly two weeks.

To do this we ran tests to see how a normal frozen glass mug would work for this and then brainstormed how we could improve that.

In order to test a normal glass mug we had to work on crating a math model to tell us what the final temperature should be using MATLAB, and then we also programmed an Arduino to read the temperature of the liquid.

Here is a video of what we did for testing our glass mug:

 

Below is our Arduino Set up for reading the temperature and displaying it in the LCD in both degrees C and F.

Here is our experiment set up: As you can see our data is not the best because we are not in a closed system although the jacket does help with insulation.

(Note: When I learn how to add documents I will add out Matlab and Arduino Codes as well as further information)
