Abstract

A major effect of high-ambient-temperature exposure on human body is rise in body temperature and sweating, leading to dehydration with loss in electrolytes. Keeping these effects in focus, research was conducted to address the following issues: (a) body dehydration by developing a fluid replenishment drink and (b) auxiliary cooling system for the human body. The outcome of these studies is formulation of replenishment drink DIP-SIP and development of a man-mounted air conditioning system (MMACS).
