A refrigeration plant stored 10 metric tons of eggs at a temperature of 15°C. To preserve the eggs by not spoiling them, they have to be cooled at -8°C. What is the refrigerating capacity of the plant in TOR if it is cooled for 12 hours? The specific heat of the eggs above and below freezing are 0.95 kcal/kg-°C and 0.4 kcal/kg-°C, respectively. The latent heat of fusion is 68.5 kcal/kg The freezing temperature is -3°C.
3. A well-mixed cement-lined storage tank contains water initially at 50°C. The water loses energy to its surroundings via conduction through the tank's concrete-lined walls. The tank sits in an unheated warehouse with an air temperature of 0°C. A diagram of the storage tank is shown below. The cement lining is 1.5-cm thick and has a thermal conductivity (htc) of 2.0 W/(m K). height = 1.5 m diameter = 2.0 m a. How long will it take (in minutes) for the water to cool to 40°C? b. Why might you be over- or underestimating the time it will take to cool the contents of the reactor?

Heat Transfer A wall of an oven with a wire in it. Across the wire a voltage of 50 Volts and a current of 2 Amps is applied, and 80% of the electrical power is converted to thermal energy. The oven is a convection oven and has air flowing through it at 240 C and h = 10 W/m^2 K. The wall of the oven is 0.1 m thick and 1.5 m tall and 1.5 m wide and is made of steel (k = 15 W/m K). Find the surface energy balance on the inner wall of the oven and determine the temperature of the ineer wall at steady state. Then do an energy balance on the outer wall, assume that the oven is free standing and has an emissivity, e = 0.6, and the surrounding temperature is 25 C. The air in the surrounding has a convective heat transfer coefficient of 25 W/m^2 K. Just set up the balance equation that would enable to solve, no need to actually solve.
student was asked to do an experiment on a refrigerator test kit during an undergraduate laboratory class in an engineering college. He conducted the experiment for a period of 30 minute and measured that the refrigerated space is maintained at -5°C, while the temperature of the laboratory is 20°C. According to his experiment, it has found that during the experiment the refrigerator draws 1 kWh of electrical energy and 40000 kJ of heat is removed from the refrigerated space. Do you think there is an error in his experiment?
