Project your own thermal cup/mug, based on professional models and existing patents. You should determine its geometry, dimensions, materials. The requirements are: a. Total volume (dimension) cannot exceed 1.5 L b. Should hold at least 300 mL of liquid c. Cannot weigh more than 700 g d. Should be liquid proof, i.e., cannot leak or deteriorate when in contact with liquids. e. Should keep contents at a temperature higher or equal to 55% of the original temperature for at least 3 hours. f. Aesthetics will not be marked 2) Sketch your project (manually or using software), justify through references or calculations the choosing of the geometry, dimensions and materials, display (or estimate) all the thermal conductivity (k) involved 3) Estimate the price your thermo would cost. That is, the manufacturing price (design, materials, labour, equipment, etc.). Note this is NOT the retail price. *4) Calculate the expected heat transfer and the expected energy loss over a period of 3 hours and show that your envisioned product is capable of keeping liquid inside at a temperature higher or equal to 55% of the original temperature for 3 hours in a city like Sydney. *
