Problem Statement :

Design a heat exchanger that can convey heat from a hot liquid(water) to a cold liquid(water) placed .5m apart by the use of the third transfer liquid!

Judging Criteria

• The elevation in temperature in the cold sink( normal water) given at room temperature initially.
   
• The time taken for the entire process.
   
• Originality in design.

• Maximum 3 persons per team.
   
• Abstracts must be submitted in the given format. Click here to download the sample abstract
   
• Each team will be provided with 1 litre of water at room temperature and 2 litres of water at elevated temperature (60-70^oC).
   
• The area occupied by the design should be preferably within 1.5m X 1.5m.
   
• The water should not be contaminated before, during or after the heat exchange process.
   
• There should not be any volume loss in the water provided.
   
• Water discharge from the cold sink should be provided in such a way that the water can be collected in a container with insulating walls. The temperature of cold water will be measured from that container.
   
• The entire process should be completed in the least time possible (which should not exceed 10 min).
   
• No other heating and/or electrical device allowed. Exothermic reactions should NOT be used.
   
• Mixing of fluids is not allowed.
   
• Unwanted and unnecessary actions or behaviour by participant shall not be tolerated, and will lead to disqualification of the  team.
   
• Marks will be deducted for any actions violating the above rules.
   
• Judge’s decision is final.
