Everyone likes their hot chocolate just right. If it's too hot, you can't enjoy it right away, If it's too cold, you have to warm it up again. With our new and easy program- You can enjoy perfect hot chocolate, every time. H OT C HOCOLATE

How long should I wait Until I can drink my chocolate? Can we predict what effects the time? Do the dimensions of my mug matter? Does the initial temperature matter? Does the amount of hot chocolate matter? The Hot Chocolate Problem

Set Up of the Heat Transfer Problem Finite Difference and Lumped Capacitance in MATLAB Experimental validation

Results MATLAB Prediction vs. The Real Thing Starting Temp FDesired Temp FRoom Temp FSpeed m/sActual TimeFinite Differnce TimeLumped Capacitance Time min min min min Assumptions Made Mug is perfectly insulated Volume for each node is at a constant diameter Experimental measurements were in the middle of mug We did not account for free convection flow

Conclusion =+ Your favorite temperature can be predicted… but not with the assumptions we made. If you want to drink it right away… Pour the water at a temperature as close to your favorite temperature as possible. Pour only a little hot chocolate. Get a short mug with a big diameter.
