From the measurements used to characterize the actual device, it appears that the PCM contains multiple melting-point materials (see experimental results here: https://www.systemvision.com/design/ember-coffee-mug-2-pcm-experimental-data-0), thus two were included –at melting points of 47C and 52C respectively. The thermal mass of the liquid is modeled by the block with a “coffee cup” symbol. The feedback control is simple proportional gain. The battery is Li-Ion chemistry with a capacity calibrated from measurements on the real-life temperature profile over time – estimated as 5 cells in series (total ~17 V), since the charger voltage was just under 20 V, with 130 milliamp-hour capacity each, for a total of 650 milliamp-hours capacity.</p> <p>The red wires are thermal, with temperature as the across variable and heat flow as the conserved through variable.
