Cold salt brine at -2°C is used in a packing plant to chill food slabs from 40°C to 3.4°C in 18 hours. Determine the mass of brine required to cool 100 food slabs of 225 kg each if the final temperature of the brine is 1.7°C.

Problem 2
Cold salt brine at -2°C is used in a packing plant to chill food slabs from 40°C to 3.4°C in 18 hours.
Determine the mass of brine required to cool 100 food slabs of 225 kg each if the final temperature of
the brine is 1.7°C. Given:
Specific gravity of brine = 1.05
Specific heat of brine =. 3.77 kJ/kg.K
Specific heat of food slabs = 3.15 kJ/kg.K
