8,000 kilograms of dressed poultry are blast-frozen on hand trucks each day (24 hrs) in a freezing tunnel. The poultry is to precooled to 7°C before entering the freezer where it is frozen and its temperature is lowered to -20°C for storage. The specific heat of poultry above and below freezing are 3.18 and 1.55 kJ/kg- °C, respectively. The latent heat is 246 kJ/kg and the freezing temperature is -2.75°C. Neglecting the heat load from the hand trucks, determine the amount of heat needed to be removed from the dressed poultry in kW.

Sample Problem • Four metric tons of pork are to be stored at a temperature of -12°C in 8 hours. The product enters the chiller at a temperature of 21°C and the specific heats above and below freezing are 0.86 kCal/kg-°C and 0.51 kcal/kg-°C, respectively, and its latent heat of fusion is 48 kCal/kg. If the freezing temperature of the product is -5°C, determine the product load in kCal/hr. TCL
In a nice Christmas evening, where the temperature is low compared to a summer night, an engineering student, studying Heat Transfer subject, and his brother decided to camp outside their house. The student gave advice to his brother, “Be cautious in setting up your bed, considering your body as a thermodynamic system, plenty of blankets to cover the top of your body, would not be sufficient enough creating an insulation for yourself. The bottom side contributes also to heat rejection in your body, therefore provide also layers of insulation on the bottom side.". Justify the claim of the engineering student by applying the concepts that you have learned so far in this subject.
A 50-kg box of beef at 8°C having a water content of 72 percent is to be frozen to a temperature of -30°C in 4 hours. Freezing point is at -2°C. Specific heat of the beef above freezing is 3.23 kJ/kg.K and below freezing is 1.5 kJ/kg.K. Determine (a) the total amount of heat that must be removed from the beef, (b) the average rate of heat removal from the beef.
Q-2/ An office room has an area of 7*5 square meter and 4m height, this room is heated by the radiator of a steam-heating system. The steam radiator transfers heat at a rate of 10 MJ/h, while a 100-W fan is used to distribute the warm air in the room. During this process, the rate of heat loss from the room is estimated to be about 5 MJ/h. If the initial temperature of the room air is 15°C. Determine; how long it will take for the air temperature to rise to 25°C. Assume constant specific heats at room temperature and the parametric pressure is I bar.
