💡 Science Olympiad Engineering Insight

Because radiative flux drops with distance as I ∝ 1 / h², lowering lamp height from 65 cm to 40 cm increases incident flux by over 260%. Pairing an aluminized Mylar collector with an acrylic top locks in buoyant warm air, stopping convection from stealing heat once the cup passes 35°C!

🎯 The Prediction Arena PS Mode • Max 20 pts

Rule 4.a & 6.d Compliant: Teams must predict the final water temperature prior to the end of heating. Prediction Estimate: PE = 1 − (|T_final − T_predicted| / T_final).

Competition Test Scenario

The Event Supervisor randomly announces the test conditions. Use your lookup curves to calculate the final temperature:

Bulb Height 45 cm Above surface
Bulb Wattage 115 W Heat lamp
Heating Duration 10 min Rule 5.c
Starting Water Temp 21.0°C Room temp: 21.0°C
Must be finalized before heating time expires. Errors under ±0.5°C yield gold medal PE scores.

📝 Official Written Exam Arena ES Mode • Max 50 pts

Rule 5.a & 5.d Compliant: Metric units, proper sig figs, standard arithmetic and algebra only; no calculus or trigonometry. Covers all 6 official syllabus areas.
