Miniature Vortex Tube Design Question

[ravi101]

Need help with an application I am thinking of. In this application just 10 cubic inches per second of cold air is needed, that too for 2-5 seconds only. Also, not a lot of cooling/heating capacity is needed, just 30C of air cooling should be sufficient.

How would we construct such a device?

I am thinking of attaching a hand pump (like this one http://bit.ly/1LpLIkD ) to a vortex tube of 0.3 CFM

The user would simply use hand to squeeze the pump a few times air through vortex tube and create cold/hot air

I calculated that our hands can squeeze a ball of size 5 cubic inches quite comfortably. So if we squeeze twice per second, it is 10 cubic inches per second. This seems quite doable.

Questions I have are:
1. Can a vortex tube of capacity 600 cubic inches per minute be constructed?
2. Would such a device be capable of cooling if we pass 10 cubic inches air/second for 2-5 seconds?
3. Some search shows that human hand can create 30 PSI pressure.

So problem is reduced to
Is it possible to create a vortex tube of capacity 0.3CFM that can cool air by 30C at 30 PSI within 2-5 seconds?

I have been trying to figure this out but now I realize ... I need help! HELP please!

Thanks for the bump. I am guessing this is harder problem and the reason nobody is commenting is because nobody is really sure.

But maybe people can help me in another way:

Do you know any experts in vortex tube (or related sciences) or a company that can help me manufacture a miniature vortex tube?
I am willing to pay.

Thanks for your help.
