1. Ten thousand kilograms of dressed poultry are blast frozen on hand trucks each day (24 h) in
a freezing tunnel. The poultry is precooled to 7 C before entering the freezer where it is frozen
and its temperature lowered to –20 C for storage. The hand trucks carrying the poultry total 700
kg per day and have a specific heat of 0.47 kJ/kg.C. The specific heat of poultry above and
below freezing are 3.18 kJ/kg.C and 1.55 kJ/kg.C, respectively, the latent heat is 246 kJ/kg and
the freezing temperature is –2.75 C. Determine the product load.
Solution:
700
Hand Trucks: mref1 = 700kg per day =
(24)(3600) = 8.102x10-3kg/s
c = 0.47 kJ/kg·C
Q1 = (mref1 )(CpT)(ΔT) = (8.102x10-3)(0.47)[7-(-20)] = 0.10kW
For Poultry
Based on given
Entering temperature = Te = 7ºC
Freezing temperature = Tf = –2.75ºC
Storage temperature = Ts = –20ºC
Cpa = 3.18 kJ/kg.C
Cpb = 1.55 kJ/kg.C

Latent heat = 246 kJ/kg
Q2 = mref ( Cpa [ te – tf ] + Lf + Cpb [ tf – ts ])
Q2 = 0.1157kg/s[3.18 kJ/kg.C (7+2.75)ºC + 246 kJ/kg + 1.55 kJ/kg.C (–2.75+20)ºC] = 35.14 kW
Solving for Total Product Load
𝑄̇𝑡 = 𝑄̇1 + 𝑄̇2
= 0.10kW + 35.14kW
= 35..24 kW
𝑃𝑅𝑂𝐷𝑈𝐶𝑇 𝐿𝑂𝐴𝐷 = 35.24 kW
2. Twenty three hundred liters of partially frozen ice cream at -4°C enter a hardening room each
day. Hardening is completed and the temperature of the ice cream is lowered to-28°C in 10 hours
The average density of ice cream is 0.60 kg/L, the average latent heat per kg is 233 kJ.
Determine the product load.
SOLUTION:
Given
Latent heat = 233kJ/kg
Te = -4ºC
Ts = -28ºC
Mic = 2300L/day
Density of ice cream = 0.60kg/L
Standard specific heat of ice of Cpice = 2.0 kJ/kg.C.
𝑚ref= (2300L/day) (0.60 kg/L) = 1380 kg/day

𝑚ref = = 0.038 kg/s
Solving for Product Load
Qp = mref ( Cpice [ te – ts ] + Lf )
Qp = 0.038{(2.0) [(–4) – (–28)] + 233} = 10.66 kW
Product load = 10.66 kW
3. An industrial plant has available a 4-cylinder, 76-mm bore by 102-mm stroke, BOD rpm,
single-acting compressor for use with refrigerant 12. Proposed operating conditions for the
compressor are 38 C condensing temperature and 5 C evaporating temperature. It is estimated
that the refrigerant will enter the expansion valve as a saturated liquid that the vapor will leave
the evaporator at a temperature of 7 C, and will enter the Compressor at a temperature of 13 C.
Assume a compressor volumetric efficiency of 70%. Assume frictionless flow. Calculate the
refrigerating capacity in kW for a system equipped with this compressor.
