In the case f tempeatue-sensitive dugs lie vaccines, the Wld Health Oganizatin (WHO) has enacted the Guidelines n the intenatinal pacaging and shipping f vaccines [1] and ecmmended that the guidelines shuld be included in the technical specificatins and equiements. he WHO has classified each type f vaccine and indicated the minimum and maximum allwable tempeatue t which vaccines may be expsed duing intenatinal lgistics time f at least 48 hus. hus, all vaccine manufactues ae expected t ensue that thei pacaging cmplies with the citeia specified in the guidelines. In de t satisfy the guidelines, bth active system and passive system have been used f vaccine pacaging and shipping.

In u pevius study, we used wate in the mdeling and simulatin f heat tansfe inside a pacaging cntaine utilized f vaccine shipping. he simulatin esults shwed gd ageement with expeimental data duing the cling pcess, but the mdel did nt successfully simulate the heating pcess. Althugh a basic algithm f simulating heat tansfe thugh multi-slabs cmbined with diffeent mateials including phase-change mateial (PM) has been successfully develped, the esults shw that wate is nt suitable f use due t its lwe melting tempeatue (~0 ). hus, this study pves the effectiveness f using n-tetadecane as a PM inside a pacaging cntaine utilized f vaccine shipping..

In de f the bx t be used as a cntaine suitable f the pacaging and shipping f vaccines, the phasechange mateials must be fistly equied t have a melting tempeatue in the ange f t 8. Secndly, the cldest tempeatue f the vaccine is nt belw with cntinuus expsue at an extenal tempeatue f -5 f a peid f at least 48 h [1].

In the case f wate, bth the inside and side tempeatues in the bx als decease in a patten simila t that exhibited by n-tetadecane.

Futheme, the cling ate at the psitin f 6.754 cm is slightly faste than that at the psitin f 0.15 cm, while the cling ate at the psitin f 6.754 cm is slwe than that at the psitin f 30.8 cm. his phenmenn can be explained by tw facts. he fist ne is the diffeence in the distance fm the heat sin.

Figue 6(a) clealy eveals that the n-tetadecane lcated at the psitin f 6 cm acts as an excellent themal esistance, unlie the case f wate (Figue 6(b)). On the the hand, in the case f wate, the tempeatue eaches 30 afte nly 1.5 h. his esult indicates that wate is nt a suitable insulatin candidate duing the heating pcess as a PM in the pacaging and shipping f vaccines. futhe claify the le f the PM duing heating pcess, we simulated the tempeatue histy f the system at thee diffeent psitins f 0.15, 6.75, and 30.3 cm. he simulated data ae pesented in Figue 7. Fm Figue 7(a), we bseve that the tempeatue histy at the psitin f 0.15 cm is stable aund 6 until 0 h. Subsequently, it gadually inceases t 30 until a simulatin time f 50 h. Figue 7(a) als eveals that the time f maintaining cnstant tempeatue is shtened with incease in the psitin fm 6.75 t 30.3 cm while the heating ate inceases. he diffeence in heat esistance due t the diffeence in mateials can be used t explain this phenmenn, as mentined peviusly. he tempeatue histy f wate shws a tend simila t that f n-tetadecane, as can be bseved fm Figue 7(b). Hweve, the lngest time inteval equied f eaching 30 is nly ab 1 h. his inteval is shte than that f n-tetadecane and the WHO index. hus, wate is nt a suitable candidate duing the heating pcess as a PM in the pacaging and shipping f vaccines. 4. Discussin It is well nwn that the heat tansfe ate f n-tetadecane is less than that f wate. Futheme, the themal diffusivity,, can be calculated by using the fllwing expessin: Figue 7. empeatue change with espect t time (inne cntaine: psitin, cm) f (a) n-tetadecane and (b) wate. Nte that ( ) 0.15 cm, (Ο) 6.75 cm, and (Δ) 30.3 cm. the bx calculated at vaius times duing the heating pcess. Each time inteval cespnds t a diffeent tempeatue pfile. Fm Figue 6, we bseve that the heating pfile is quite diffeent fm the cling pfile (Figue 4) f bth n-tetadecane and wate. Futhe, we bseve that the tempeatue pfile fm 0 t 0.5 cm is almst cnstant, paticulaly f the case f n-tetadecane, because the pacaging aea is filled with inet ai, which has a lw themal diffusivity. Hweve, the tempeatue significantly changes with espect t psitins in the ange fm 0.5 t 34.7 cm. Fm Figue 6(a), we bseve that the tempeatue f n-tetadecane gadually inceases fm.84 t ~ 30 / (15) whee dentes the themal cnductivity, the density, and the specific heat capacity. We bseve that the themal diffusivity values (calculated fm data in able 1) in bth the slid and liquid phases f n-tetadecane wee less than thse f wate. In the slid phase, the themal diffusivity f n-tetadecane was 4.08 10-8 m s -1, while this value f wate was 109 10-8 m s -1. In the liquid phase, the themal diffusivities f n-tetadecane and wate wee.47 10-8 m s -1 and 14.4 10-8 m s -1, espectively. A high value f themal diffusivity indicates a high themal cnductivity lw themal heat capacity,. A lw themal cnductivity in tun indicates a lw heat tansfe ate thugh mateials. A high heat capacity indicates a lage amunt f heat absbed. hus, the ate f heat tansfe in the case f wate was highe than that f n-tetadecane, as can be bseved fm Figues 5 and 7. his intepetatin is in gd ageement with u simulatin esults. 5. nclusins In this study, we successfully accmplished the mdeling and simulatin f heat tansfe in a cntaine used f the pacaging
