Temperature Plot

Heat Flux Plot


Thermal Stress Plot

Will the pipe fail? Why?

When setting up the thermal stress plot I added the fixed geometry to the filet so it would not disturb
any of the deforming that may occur on the ends. I believe the pipe will fail. When many metals like
brass heat up they expand as you can see from the plot above. The end of the fitting at 150 degrees
is completely fine, the end of the fitting at 200 degrees you can see is expanding a little, then the end
of the fitting at 750 degrees is expanding quite a bit. More than likely if a pipe was attached it would
burst.

Initial Design

Due to air temp being 75 degrees fahrenheit and air having a convection coefficient of 10W/(m^2xK)
and water temp being 175 degrees fahrenheit and water having a convection coefficient of
500W/(m^2xK) the initial design of the mug exterior faces had a low temp of around 57 degrees and
the interior faces having a high temp of 175 degrees.
Updated Design

I removed a millimeter of the interior plastic piece and determined no more material could be
removed or it would be dangerous, if it is not already. The exterior of the mug is sitting at a cool 80 to
90 degrees now. At this temp the mug is still usable, but might not be the most ideal mug. I would
say up to a millimeter or less can be removed and it is still a sellable mug, but it is really up to what
the company values for their customers. If it was my company I would keep the original design to
ensure there is no chance of someone burning themselves.
