Question

Problem 155P

A refrigeration system is being designed to cool eggs (ρ= 67.4 lbm/ft3 and cp= 0.80 BtuAbm·°F) with an average mass of 0.14 lbm from an initial temperature of 90°F to a final average temperature of 50°F by air at 34°F at a rate of 10,000 eggs per hour. Determine (a) the rate of heat removal from the eggs, in Btu/h and (b) the required volume flow rate of air, in ft3/h, if the temperature rise of air is not to exceed 10°F.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 150 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 155PA refrigeration system is being designed to cool eggs (ρ= 67.4 lbm/ft3 and cp= 0.80 BtuAbm·°F) with an average mass of 0.14 lbm from an initial temperature of 90°F to a final average temperature of 50°F by air at 34°F at a rate of 10,000 eggs per hour. Determine (a) the rate of heat removal from the eggs, in Btu/h and (b) the required volume flow rate of air, in ft3/h, if the temperature rise of air is not to exceed 10°F.
From the textbook chapter Mass and Energy Analysis of Control Volumes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
