Design and construction of a portable vessel for heating and cooling liquids

Abstract

This engineering report addressed the problem of inefficiencies in managing liquid temperatures on the go, highlighting the need for a unified portable solution for various scenarios. The challenge stemmed from the absence of a versatile and compact vessel capable of both heating and cooling liquids effectively, which often resulted in increased bulk and complexity when using separate devices. The significance of this problem lay in the growing demand for a user-friendly, adaptable, and energy-efficient solution that aligns with contemporary lifestyle needs and environmental considerations. To solve this, a versatile and compact liquid vessel with integrated heating and cooling capabilities was designed and constructed. The project aimed to combine advanced materials and thermoelectric units to achieve efficient liquid temperature management in a compact design. The results showcased the final design, including technical drawings, fabrication instructions, bills of materials, and power consumption. The project's outcomes demonstrated advancements in temperature management devices, meeting the evolving needs of users seeking portable liquid temperature regulation solutions. This documentation also serves as a resource for future development and potential commercialization. In conclusion, the project successfully provided an innovative solution for efficient and adaptable liquid temperature management, with recommendations for further research and development to enhance the vessel's capabilities and explore commercialization opportunities.
