Design Improvement for a Novel One-Shot Self-Cooling Beverage Can Prototype

Temperature control is very important to a modern day society. Certain beverages, such as soda pop, alcoholic beverages, and even water are refrigerated so that they are more refreshing to drink. This project objective is to design novel environmentally benign and emission-free-self-cooling beverage cans. Two different systems with different cooling approached are considered. The first system is built on chemical reaction that does not evolve any harm output that the user will be exposed to, and the other system uses the physical principle of cooling with expansion and absorption. It is desired to design, manufacture and test the proposed systems the commercialization potential in the canning industry.
