- A manufacturer in the United States wants to sell a refrigeration system to a customer in Germany. The standard measure of refrigeration capacity used in the United States is the ton (T); a 1 T capacity means that the unit is capable of making about 1 T of ice per day or has a heat removal rate of 12,00 Btu/h. The capacity of the American system is to be guaranteed at 3 T. What is this guarantee in SI units?arrow_forwardThermodynamics Please show slution step by step.arrow_forwardHeat transfer can be defined as the transmission of energy from one region to another due to temperature difference.
