Problem Statement:

Design a simple heat exchanger which uses the given hot water to heat the water given at normal room temperature without using electricity.

Judging Criteria:

• The elevation in temperature in the normal water given at room temperature initially.
• The time taken for the entire process.
• Area occupied should be within the specified dimensions, else marks will be deducted.
• Originality in design.

Rules and Regulations:

• Maximum 3 persons per team.
• Each team will be provided with 2 litres of water at room temperature and 2 litres of water at elevated temperature (60-70^oC).
• The area occupied by the design should be 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 to be heated.
• 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.
• No external help should be sought once the process starts.
• 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.
