circulation and helps decrease complications associated with cramps and
indigestion, cold water helps with lowering body temperature after extreme
exercise and boosts metabolism. Drinking cold water in moderation will not cause
digestion problems, as some assume, because the liquid warms up to human
body’s temperature as it travels down the esophagus.
The main purpose of this study is to create a simple tumbler that is useful
and portable in its own kind. It is a new and effective way of making the water
change its temperature through the use of electricity made by the researchers.
This was made to lessen the problem of the people who struggle because they
need or want to make their water hot or even warm in just a specific time. This
was made to easily condition the human body. People now can just easily drink
hot or cold water in the temperature they want through the use of this product.
This product contains four (4) parts, the tumbler which will hold the
beverage and its temperature for long. The stainless thermometer attached in the
tumbler, its purpose is to determine the temperature of the beverage, and this
thermometer is exclusive only in waters/beverages. Mini heater, this has a heater
inside powered up by electricity and this thing will be the main source on heating
the beverage or making it hot. Last but not the least is a mini cooler, it is unified
components bought and assembled by the researchers and this will be the main
source for cooling the beverage. People can even put it in their bags. This is just
a simple yet effective product made by the researchers.

This research scopes are to make a cold, warm, or hot water by means of
using unified components made by the researchers, it is electricity operated. This
product can also boil the water. Appropriate or needed temperature for certain
beverage varies according to the amount of beverage inside the tumbler. The
amount of water depends on the size of the tumbler used as a product of the
researchers. It does have a thermometer so user will be informed whether
beverage had reached the required temperature.
It does not have an alarm to tell or notify user if the beverage had reached
the required temperature, user needs to pay attention. If the user changed
his/her mind to make hot water cold, it would take a long time to cool it down,
water needs to reach its normal temperature so tumbler may now be able to be
placed at the mini cooler component. It does not have a battery to make it work
even in a short period of time without electricity.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Foreign Literature
Drinking water is part of people’s daily lives. It’s very essential to drink
water in each day. When we drink water, we tend to prefer it , but according to
Ayurvedic medicine, we have it all wrong. Regularly drinking very warm water,
especially in the morning, can heal our bodies, providing digestive power and
reducing metabolic waste that could have built up in our immune system. In
addition, Stella Metsovas states that “Physicians recommend drinking warm
water in the morning, usually, with a polyphenol-rich lemon immersion, or with a
tea shown to decrease free radical activity in the body”. The consumption of
warm water increases the tightening of the intestines, which optimizes
elimination. Unlike hot water, processed cold water is devoid of many essential
minerals that could become very unfavorable to the digestive tract when
consuming a meal. Drinking warm water after eating is a much appropriate since
when people drink cold water after eating can actually harden the oil in
consumed foods and which create a fat deposit in the intestine. Water is a great
help to the human kind. Warm water has many great uses; it cleanses digestion,
alleviates pain, aids constipation, sheds excess pounds, improves blood
circulation, and halts premature aging. Warm water is great to help break down
the foods in the human’s stomach which will keep the digestive system on the
track so that people can continue eating if they want. It is one of the human’s
stomach problems where we have little to no bowel movement, and this happens
because of lack of water in the body, this is why drinking warm water especially

in the morning on an empty stomach can help improve bowel movements and aid
constipation. The heat coming from the warm water has its great effect on the
abdominal muscles and according to Healthline, warm or hot water is usually
better for cramps, as hot liquids increase blood flow to the skin and help relax the
cramped muscles.

twelve (12) 8-ounce of water in every day. Drink hot water wakes your body’s
temperature control system up and drinking it in starting and in ending of the day
will make people to being adequately hydrated. It also helps your intestines
contract to clear out waste products that are bloating your body, which gets rid of
the dreaded “water weight.” According to one study, adding some warm milk to
the mix might find you feeling even calmer after drinking hot water. People with
achalasia have trouble swallowing foods and sometimes it feels like their foods
get stuck in their esophagus instead in to the stomach, but warm water can help
those people with this condition to digest more comfortably. Drinking water that
is too hot can actually damage the tissue in the esophagus, burn people’s taste
buds, and scald their tongue. It’s critical to be very careful when people drink hot
water by paying attention to the temperature. People also shouldn’t drink hot
water if their working in a hot climate or exercising.

allowed a summer boiler to be undersized, resulting in savings for the SWH
project and a boosted financial feasibility. (Canadian Researchers 2009)
The recent increased interest in renewable energy has created a need for
research in the area of solar technology, particularly solar water heating
collectors and systems. In this study a new design of a building integrated
thermal (BIT) collector was developed and experimentally tested. The
subsequent result of this was the viability of its use in a water heating system for
domestic application in a country like New Zealand, can be investigated.
Experimental results showed that the unglazed and glazed collector can achieve
thermal efficiencies of 39% and 75%, respectively. A comparison of the glazed
15 | P a g e
LYCEUM OF ALABANG
Senior High School Department
BIT with an integrated collector of a similar design showed that the maximum
thermal efficiency of 75% was relatively high; however, the downside to this is
that high losses also occurred. A theoretical viewpoint of the collector showed
that the improvement in efficiency was attributed to the high fin efficiency which
resulted from using a high thermal conductivity material relative to the integrated
collector previously studied. Moreover, the high heat loss from the collector was
shown to be a result of the lack of side insulation and the presence of air gaps
between the collector and the rear insulation, contributing to the overall heat loss
from the collector and system. iv A control strategy was also developed for the
control of the system and simulated tests showed that the controller was indeed
effective in controlling the system. However, it was highlighted that an
improvement is needed for the method of simulating the load required by the
household. Additionally, transient simulation of the developed system showed
that accurate predictions of the systems performance can be made. Moreover,
using a hypothetical scenario where the heat loss from the BIT collector-system
is reduced, it was shown that a significant improvement in its performance for
water heating can be made. This work has shown that the use of integrated
collectors for domestic household heating in New Zealand is indeed viable. The
potential for the control of these systems to achieve high efficiencies is also
recommended, by using advance control strategies. (William Tou’Anga Rohorua

of opening, durability, and of course, ease of washing and maintenance. Steel
tumblers with lids can keep coffee and tea hot and iced drinks chilled for hours if
they have excellent insulation. Tumbler with double-walled or thermal insulation
offers a number of benefits. First, the thick, but extremely light-weight insulation
layer keeps your chilled beverages cold and hot beverages hot for a longer
period of time. Second, it’s important to understand that the use of double-walled
insulation reduces the amount of condensation that forms on the outside.

buttons. Water and rice sit inside the cooking pan while it's inserted into the rice
cooker's shell. The pan's weight depresses the thermal-sensing device, and the
heating plate quickly brings the water to a boil. The sensing device is a small,
spring-loaded thermometer that gauges the temperature of the pan's contents.
It's set into the bottom of the rice cooker's main body. The process for cooking
the rice is simple. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius),
and once it reaches a steady boil, it won't get hotter. As long as there is water in
the pan, the temperature should be stable. Once the rice absorbs all the water in
the pan, the temperature will start to rise. The rice cooker senses this change
and will either switch off or switch to a warming cycle. At this point, the rice has
finished cooking and entered the resting stage. While most rice cookers do not
speed up the cooking process noticeably, they can accomplish the task with less
mistakes and less fuss than the average person armed with a stovetop pot,
especially when the cookers are equipped with fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic lets a rice
cooker react to what's happening in the pan. Fuzzy-logic rice cookers have
computer chips that direct their ability to make proper adjustments to cooking
time and temperature. Unlike basic rice cookers, which complete tasks in a
single-minded, mechanical manner, the process behind the fuzzy-logic rice
cookers needs a bit more explanation. The fuzzy sets theory, first proposed by
UC Berkeley professor Lotfi Zadeh in 1965, laid the groundwork for fuzzy logic,
which he also put forward in 1973. Fuzzy sets theory has to do with mathematical
sets, or groups of items known as elements. In most mathematical sets, an
element either belongs to the set or it doesn’t. Fuzzy logic is basically a way to
program machines so they look at the world in a more humane way, with degrees
of truth. Instead of cold, hard parameters and strict data sets, fuzzy logic
19 | P a g e

assumes a more practical approach. Using numbers, it incorporates non-
definitive words like "slightly" or "almost" into its decision-making processes. As a
result, the use of fuzzy logic in rice cookers helps to ensure properly cooked rice
because it gives the appliances the ability to make judgment calls similar to those
a person might make, albeit typically better than those a hungry, impatient
person might make. While fuzzy-logic rice cookers function under the same
premise as basic models, their mathematical programming can deliver a slew of
customized cooking options. The trick to these capabilities is the rice cookers'
ability to react, making precise fluctuations in cooking time and temperature
depending on the program selected. Some rice cookers take precision a step
further with the help of a technology called induction heating. Induction-heating
rice cookers get their heat from an alternating electric current from the wall outlet.
Some rice cookers take precision a step further with the help of a technology
called induction heating. While other rice cookers apply heat directly from an
electrical plate underneath the inner cooking pan, induction-heating rice cookers
get their heat from an alternating electric current from the wall outlet. Induction
heating, used for many applications beyond rice cookers, is achieved when this
current passes through metal coils, typically made of copper. The movement of
the current through these coils creates a magnetic field. It is into this magnetic
field that the rice cooker pan is inserted. The magnetic field produces an
electrical current inside the cooking pan, and this generates heat. Heat can also
be produced from this process if the rice cooker pan is made out of a magnetic
material. This is due to a phenomenon called hysteresis, in which magnetic
materials show a resistance to any fast-paced changes of their magnetic level.
This resistance creates friction, which contributes to the cooking heat. Induction
20 | P a g e
LYCEUM OF ALABANG

heating improves rice cookers in three main ways: The temperature-sensing
methods can be more accurate, allowing for fine-tuned adjustments in
temperature. The heat distribution area can encompass the inner cooking pan,
not just radiate upwards from below, to produce more evenly cooked food. The
level of heat being created in the cooking pan can be changed in an instant by
strengthening or weakening the magnetic field that is generating it. These
elements create the biggest bonus of the induction heating rice cooker. In the
event of a human measuring error, an induction heating rice cooker can make
minute adjustments to both the time and the temperature of the selected program
because of its sensitivity to temperature, and its precise ability to control it.

and baked is placed for more centralized heat. The lower part is for baking, while
the upper part is for broiling. To control the oven's temperature you can make
use of an installed thermostat which is a rotating mechanism displaying
temperature numbers all around its circumference. Each number indicates a
different heating level required for particular dishes you are going to cook. The
temperature is regulated from time to time by means of a gauge. Most stoves
also have a timing or clock control. Nowadays, more modern stoves have digital
timers to set exact cooking times. An alarm will sound when the particular time is
up so that you check your dish. The heating elements inside the oven function
much the same way, with electricity making them hotter and the thermostat
controlling how much electricity is fed to the baking element. (Hunker, 2009) The
element of electric stove is made of nichrome: Most heating elements use
nichrome 80/20 (80% nickel, 20% chromium) wire, ribbon, or strip. Nichrome
80/20 is an ideal material, because it has relatively high resistance and forms an
adherent layer of chromium oxide when it is heated for the first time. (Examveda)
Many companies began manufacturing electric ranges, nearly all of them resistor
heating coil models with the same basic components. Each has a thermostat,
burners, separate broil and bake rods, a timer and an oven light. The burners are
typically made up of circular metal cylinders of nichrome-alloy resistance wires.
Electricity is sent through the wires, producing heat that comes out of the
elements, which turn red when the control knob reaches the highest level. The
levels of voltage allowed through the wires determine the different heat settings.

water. They are generally broken up in two categories: bottleless and bottled
water coolers. Bottled Dispensers: Bottled water dispensers are the commonly
referred to water dispenser. Bottled dispensers are similar to point-of-use water
dispensers as they are often available with options to cool and heat the water
prior to dispensing it. Usually, a five gallon water bottle is placed upside down in
the water dispenser’s tank. This is an ideal option for those who do not wish to
drink tap water, or for those who do not have the option to connect into the main
water line. Usually the water in bottled water is high quality, filtered water. The
bottled water dispenser works the same way as a point of use dispenser, as the
user simply presses a button or turns a knob to release the water into the funnel.
Bottled water dispensers may require more maintenance than point of use
dispensers because, bottle service is usually necessary to ensure enough water
is available. The dispenser only delivers water from the water bottle source, so if
there are no water bottles available there is no water available in the dispenser.
In most areas, water service is fairly inexpensive however, and come with a
periodic inspection of the tank along with delivery of fresh, filtered water. Bottled
dispensers are made to use pre-filtered bottled water, so they do not usually
have or need a filter inside. The bottled water dispenser has many of the same
components as a point of use dispenser, as they contain many similarities and
are built the same way. Although, there are simple bottled water dispensers that
do not have any cooling or heating options. Typically, a bottle water dispenser
has the following parts: A tank (or two) - to store the water to be heated or cooled
prior to dispensing. A collar- which holds the water bottle in a downward position,
and allows water to channel into the tank/s. Electricity is required, if the dispenser
has the option to cool and heat water. Some versions also have a second

dispenser that delivers room-temperature water or even heated water that can be
used for tea, hot chocolate or other uses. The water in the alternate hot tap is
generally heated with a heating element and stored in a hot tank (much like the
traditional hot water heaters used in residential homes). Additionally, the hot tap
is usually equipped with a push-in safety valve to prevent burns from an
accidental or inadvertent pressing of the lever. (Newair, 2017) The human body
has a normal core temperature between 97˚F and 99˚F, but on average, a
normal body temperature is 98.6˚F (37˚C). To maintain this temperature without
the help of warming or cooling devices, the surrounding environment needs to be
at about 82˚F (28˚C). (Healthline, 2017)

chamber where it is ignited, heating the combustion chamber and the body of
water above or around the combustion chamber. The products of combustion are
vented through a flue connected to the combustion chamber and passing through
the water containing tank. This general construction has been common for the
last fifty years. Numerous variations upon this construction have been created in
attempts to increase efficiency and otherwise improve operating characteristics.
Over the last several years, the efficiency of water heaters has become an
important characteristic. This is the result of government regulation and also
heightened consumer awareness concerning consumption of natural resources.
Additionally, concern for the environment has made the elimination of potentially
polluting substances from the products of combustion more important. While gas
fired water heaters are very low polluters when compared to other fuel
consuming products, there are many water heaters. Government bodies and
consumers have therefore sought to further reduce the contribution of pollutants
emanating from water heaters. In addition to all of the above very important
design criteria, cost is a very important factor in producing water heaters. Water
heaters are purchased by builders and home owners in a very competitive
environment. The products are mass produced and sold throughout a large
marketplace. In the United States, national companies compete very
aggressively for sales. Water heaters must therefore be very economically
manufactured or they will not sell and consumers will not gain the benefits of
design improvements. In conventional water heaters, the above objects are not
optimally achieved. Additionally, the cost of manufacturing remains high. A
number of different components including a tank, a combustion chamber, a
burner, a reflecting pan under the burner to protect the bottom of the water

feeling refreshed and to maintain optimum energy levels. A water dispenser
provides convenience and speed to the office, or house, offering chilled filtered
water just like a normal tap would. On January 2015, students from Cebu
Technological University in Cebu city featured an innovative water dispenser as
their main research topic, which is described as highly acceptable.
Access to safe drinking water is not only essential for the promotion and
protection of public health but is a basic human right. Provision of safe water
supply prevents the transmission of waterborne pathogens and reduces the
exposure of individuals to chemical and physical hazards that could be ingested
through contaminated drinking water. Diarrheas and other waterborne diseases
still rank among the leading causes of illnesses in the country. It is apparent that
continuous development or refinement of policies and programs geared towards
minimizing the risk of contracting waterborne diseases should be supported to
provide optimal health service for the population. Setting standards for drinking
water establishes threshold limits for different impurities found in drinking water.
These limits are intended to minimize risk and therefore prevent deleterious
health repercussions that result from lifelong exposure to these impurities
through consumption of water. The Department of Health is mandated to
formulate standards to this effect. Chapter II (Water Supply), Section 9 of the
Code on Sanitation of the Philippines states that “Standards for drinking water
and their microbiological and chemical examinations, together with the evaluation
of results, shall conform to the criteria set by the National Drinking Water
Standards.”

Drinking-water supplies should be free from contamination by human and
animal excreta, which can contain a variety of microbial contaminants.
Microbiological parameters are indices of potential waterborne diseases and, in
general, are limited to bacteria, viruses and pathogenic protozoa. The major
interest in classifying and issuing standards is the identification, quantification,
and evaluation of organisms associated with waterborne diseases. Practically, all
pathogenic organisms that can be carried by water originate from the intestinal
tract of warm blooded animals. Bacterial intestinal pathogens known to be
transmitted in drinking-water are strains of Salmonella, Shigella, enterotoxigenic
Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia enterocolitica and Campylobacter
fetus, Legionella pneumophila although, a soil bacterium, may be contracted by
inhalation exposure to the bacteria in water.

occur especially in stagnant parts of piped distribution systems, in domestic
plumbing, in some bottled water 8 and in plumbed-in devices such as water
softeners, carbon filters and vending machines.
The chemicals and physical quality of water may affect its acceptability by
consumers. Problems resulting to taste, odor, turbidity, color and similar nature
may originate in raw water sources, within the treatment processes, in the
distribution system or in the plumbing systems of the consumers. Although
acceptability aspects of drinking water quality do not have adverse health
implications, standards are set to satisfy the need of consumers for a colorless,
odorless and tasteless drinking water.

The demand for energy is increasing rapidly and the need for energy
resources is in demand. The increase in energy generation and consumption has
led to the production of large amounts of waste heat. This waste heat, while
holding enormous potential as an energy source, is simply rejected into the
atmosphere, contributing to the inefficiency of energy generation processes as
well as thermal pollution on the environment. As a solution to this, the Organic
Rankine Cycle (ORC) is an environmentally-friendly approach to power
generation by utilizing waste heat energy from geothermal power plants. Among
waste heat sources, geothermal heat holds the most potential because of the
stability and abundance of its source. By being directly installed in locally existing
plants in the Philippines, the ORC can increase their working efficiency by
enabling them to capture heat energy at low temperatures, which conventional
steam power cycles cannot otherwise utilize, while further minimizing thermal
impact. The study covers the development of a low-cost, small-scale ORC
system simulating the heat capture from geothermal plants, at a temperature
range of 80-85 °C. The mechanical design, control system, and software
interface are all included in the construction of the system. A scroll expander
converted from a scroll compressor is chosen as the type of power generator.
The researchers conducted three trials to characterize the effectiveness of the
converted scroll expander with the ORC test bench. A Carnot efficiency ranging
from 11.8-13.2% was achieved by the system. Using R-134a as the working fluid,
the expander reached an isentropic efficiency of 48-50%. Though the isentropic
efficiency attained was quite low compared to other previous studies of similar
nature, the ORC system managed to achieve a maximum power efficiency of
30 | P a g e

10.25%, with an average overall power efficiency ranging from 3.8- 7.3%,
presenting the viability of the ORC for utilizing low-temperature waste heat as
energy. (Armand James G. Cruz, Rafael Kenneth R. Kua, Redentor B. Malubay

microbiological water quality. Key-informant interviews and focus-group
discussions conducted during the community assessments showed that water
management systems are lacking, awareness regarding factors affecting drinking
water safety are lacking, and that equal access to sources are lacking (upland
areas are poorly served). Both short and long term recommendations have been
made and are the focus of this thesis. Education, monitoring and training will be
key components; as well as household water treatment and safe storage for
existing supplies. Longer term plans need to include strategies for aligning and
developing systems within the province to existing national level regulations, the
development of effective management systems both at the municipal and
provincial level, and finally on securing the necessary funding to implement
improved programs and services. (Jessica Molly Patrick May 21, 2010)
Water is the one of the most essential necessities for survival. The

affected by calamities. Contamination of water resources affects locals by
causing diseases such as diarrheal and other gastrointestinal diseases. The goal
of this research is to develop a water purification system for portable application.
Sterilization is used in eliminating various kinds of infectious agents. Ultraviolet
sterilization is one of the most common sterilization technique used nowadays.
The researchers tend to design a portable water treatment system using UVLED
that can be used during the calamities repercussion. The water will first go
through water filters such as carbon filter and sediment filter which eliminates
solid particles that can affect the sterilization. Microorganisms can hide in solid
particles which make them invisible to the UV light. Carbon filter uses an
activated removes impurities and contaminants using chemical adsorption. This
filter is effective in eliminating chlorine, sediments, volatile organic compounds,
taste and odor in water. After the filter stage, the process will now go through the
UV-LED sterilizer. The microcontroller will be the one responsible for lighting up
each LED. The water will be exposed to ultraviolet light for about four minutes.
Exposure to ultraviolet light will alter the DNA of microorganism making them
inactive and unable to reproduce. Microorganisms, bacteria and viruses that are
unable to reproduce are considered dead. Findings from the tests will help
evaluate if the water is adequate under the acceptable water standards. (Rene

Any human settlement needs fresh water. There are many reasons why a
settlement flourishes. Fresh water is of such primordial importance, that scarcity
of it becomes a fundamental constraint for an organic development of the
settlement. A tropical climate with no extended dry seasons gives the impression
that fresh water is abundan1. Volume-wise the supply is abundant. The tropical

cloudburst however is no ideal delivery system. Storage is needed to save water
for a sunny day. Chemical weathering is fast, given the high temperature and
humidity of the climate. Thus in many locations one finds thick layers of sediment
protected by a thick green cover. In this way nature has provided a huge,
admittedly leaky, storage reservoir. But then again, forests are cut and level
areas are developed. This is the common human approach . stronger erosion, a
result of deforestation, removes sediment. Development effectively constructs a
roof over the level areas and drains the rainwater as fast as possible. The loss of
natural storage (result of erosion) and the reduction of natural recharge
(consequence of development) result in batch-type water supply. The
phenomenon is well known by its effects: flash floods and dry faucets.

Bottled water has been a commodity all throughout the world, which is
handy at places where people in numbers usually stay for relaxation and for
other purposes. In emergency cases, the consumer public thinks that bottled
water becomes the safest way to drink water. Voluminous consumption of bottled
water daily spurs the use of water dispensers at homes and in offices. In the City
of Cebu, vending machines are growing in numbers, mostly especially in
conspicuous places such as: parks and schools – dispensing cold water and
even hot coffee or chocolates. Health compliance and other issues such as
maintenance of the units become European Scientific Journal October 2015
edition vol.11, No.29 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 123 a
concern that the city government has to address. This calls for the attention of
the dispenser owners to find persons capable of installing, servicing and
maintaining the units. Because of these felt needs, Cebu Technological
University, being known to offer Technology Education in central Visayas,
emerges as the avenue for training technicians to be adept in maintenance,
installation and servicing of the dispenser units.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This is an example of technical study; the researchers have bought a
stainless tumbler and created two main things. These main things has two (2)
objectives, to heat and to cool the water. These were created by the unified
components that the researchers had bought, arranged and customized. This
study aims to provide a solution on people wanting a hot or cold beverage in just
a specific time with the use of electricity.
This tumbler differs on the process of making the water hot or cold. The
researchers have needed many sources in this experiment so that this will study
could work.

The researchers gathered information from the net regarding on how to
warm water. They searched on how rice cooker, electric thermos, water
dispenser, and heater’s mechanisms are assembled as one in warming the
water. They open the parts, and as a basis of their study in creating a modified
tumbler in heating beverages, those parts were unified into a single component.
For a water to get warm, users need to put an ample amount at least ¼ of water
on the body/case of the tumbler. At least minute, water turned warm/hot.

Sampling Method
The sample of this study was the students of Lyceum of Alabang, they
were the ones whom the researchers wanted to visualize/show their experiment.
They want to know their comments, their reactions, and perspectives about what
the researchers made. This sampling process that they made is successful. But
this experiment wasn’t only made for the students of Lyceum of Alabang, it was
made for all the people. Since in this manner, they won’t have to worry about on
how to make a hot coffee, even cold juice, and any other beverages that they

want to heat, or cool but all they need to do is this tumbler and electricity to
operate it.
This was made for students, the residents of the Philippines, other
researchers, and also the workers (Teachers, Business man/woman, and many
more).
Procedural Chart
Search for the information relating in heating and cooling materials used for
heating or cooling, how change of temperature happen in various materials or
appliances, how drinking beverages in certain or specific temperature affects
human health, and how changes in temperature of the environment affects
human health.
