Vaccine Cooling

For this lab the goal was to be able to model lump mass cooling in order to accomplish the goal of maintaining a suitable temperature range for our “vaccines.”

• Analyzed several different test runs to determine R and C values for our model

• Created a MatLab model to accurately predict the temperature vs. time behavior for our setup

• For the final test we were given parameters that we input into our model to see if it would correctly output a setup that would keep the vials at the correct temperature over the allotted time range

• In the end, my partner and I were able to accurately model the temperature change over time and keep our “vaccines” viable
