• the inner vessel of the prototypes was filled with a liquid at a temperature of 90°C. Spot temperature measurements were then taken, with a single probe thermometer, every minute after stirring the contents, yielding a bulk representative value with no spatial variation. Two arbitrary parameters were specified to quantify performance. Pull-down rate was defined as the time taken for the hot liquid to reach a drinkable temperature, defined as 70 0 C. Consumption time was the duration that the liquid remains in the acceptable, warm, temperature range, with the lower threshold defined as 50°C
• Cooler liquid being denser than that at higher temperature, will fall under gravity to the bottom of the receptacle, displacing hotter fluid which is forced upwards. Because the heat from the top surface is effectively trapped by the lid insulation above it, the headspace and bottom surface of the lid is at virtually the same temperature as the top surface of the contents. Therefore there is practically no temperature gradient to induce evaporative cooling, and heat losses are largely conduction limited.
• the proposed solution to this problem was to provide PCM material in the base of the lid, anticipating that vapour evaporated from the top surface of the fluid would condense on the bottom surface of the lid, and the latent heat of vaporisation released would be absorbed by the latent heat of fusion as the PCM melted without an increase in temperature.
• the under surface of the lid would be held at a substantially lower temperature than the fluid surface, establishing a temperature gradient across the headspace that would maintain evaporative cooling over a prolonged period.
• Prototype lids were constructed with a metal cup forming the base, and filled with 15ml of PCM with 5mm of polyurethane insulation above it. Repeat cooling trials were carried out and the pull-down times for the top surface of the liquid were reduced from, typically, 21 minutes to 10 (Key Stage 4) (see results table 1 , below). Consumption times were also reduced from around 2 hours 15 minutes to about 1hour 50 minutes, but this was not considered to be a major impairment of the overall performance.
