10 kg of frozen chicken at an initial temperature of -20°C is to be thawed and raised to a temperature of 10°C before cooking. The freezing point of the meat is -1.7°C and the specific heats above and below the freezing point are 3.1 kJ/kg-K and 1.6 kJ/kg-K, respectively. The heat of fusion (the amount of heat needed per unit mass to thaw chicken at the freezing point) is 233 kJ/kg. Find the total amount of heat that must be transferred to complete this the process.

Mechanisms of heat transfer

Heat transfer is an essential discipline in thermal engineering that deals with the transfer, conversion, usability, and creation of heat or thermal energy. Transfer of heat occurs through various mechanisms like conduction, convection, radiation, and change of phases. All these mechanisms have distinct characteristics, but these mechanisms can simultaneously occur in an identical system.
