PROBLEM STATEMENTPROBLEM STATEMENTBuild a portable device that:
Keeps a 5-mL fluid volume at 10°C for up to 12 hours,
Operates without electricity or outside fuel,
Can be manufactured for less than $0.20 per unit (500 units for less than $100),
Does not require highly skilled labor to assemble.

ASSESSMENTASSESSMENT Determine a unique and efficient way to sustain 10°C for 12 hours
Will ice work? CO2
Freon
Decide which materials are good conductors and which are good insulators
Ultimately determine which materials are both sufficient and cheap, and can be easily produced in the developing world

Inner casingCold Box must have an inner layer to separate the contents of the box from heat-sink materials, yet still allow for efficient heat transfer (i.e., have high conductivity).
Ideal materials: Non-reactive metal Glass
Materials chosen: Aluminum

Schematic descriptionIn the cold box, an endothermic chemical reaction (generalized here) consumes thermal energy, thus drawing heat out of the inner cavity. This heat is trapped in the heat sink because of the outer insulating boundary.

PASTPAST WORK WORK General agreement on twice-weekly, one-hour meetings
Responsibilities assigned to each group member
Took advice from Dr Roselli (BME) to work with an advisor more knowledgeable about chemistry and materials science.
Met with Dr List (Chemistry) and gained his mentorship for our project.
Final version of NCIIA design proposal created and posted on website.

CURRENTCURRENT WORK WORK Each group member has presented their own ideas on how to design the cold box to meet specifications.
Discussion about performing lab experiments for:
Choice of appropriate chemical heat sink
Choice of best insulating / conducting materials
Several experimental set-ups were put on the table

FUTUREFUTURE WORK WORK Members offering different experimental set-ups will generate protocols and a brief rationale statement.
Group will meet with Dr List and seek his opinion of protocols.
Experiments will be performed and first sets of data collected.
