Insulated Cup Design
by Anonymous · ⭐ 0 · 🍴 0
Design a cup that keeps drinks warm for longer! 🥤 Pick materials, wall structures, outer wraps, and lids, pour in 90°C water 🌡️ and check the temperature after 20 minutes. Watch the cooling curve appear right before your eyes! 📊 The "Heat Leak" tab shows if heat escapes through the sides or top — you'll discover that spending big on walls won't help without a lid! 🎯 Hit the target temperature within budget across 5 mission stages. Expensive materials aren't always best! Supports 7 languages.
About this app
Insulated Cup Lab is an interactive thermal physics simulation where users design custom insulated cups to keep 90°C hot water warm over 20 minutes. By selecting materials, wall structures, outer wraps, and lids, users can observe cooling curves and analyze heat dissipation. The app also features 5 challenging engineering missions that test budget management alongside thermal insulation principles.
Use cases
- Primary and middle school science students learning about heat transfer and thermal insulation.
- Teachers demonstrating conduction, convection, and engineering design constraints in class.
- Anyone interested in learning why lids and vacuum insulation are effective at heat retention.
Features
- Custom cup customization across materials, wall structures, outer wraps, and lids
- 20-minute heat decay curve simulation starting with 90°C hot water
- Heat loss breakdown chart showing side wall vs top lid dissipation
- 5 budget-constrained engineering missions with temperature goals
- Multilingual support for 7 languages
