A food product containing 85% moisture content is being frozen. Estimate the specific heat of the product at -4 ° C when 62% of the water is frozen. The specific heat of the dry product is 2.5 kJ / (kg ° C). it is assumed that the specific heat of water at -10 ° C is the same as the specific heat of water at 0 ° C, and the specific heat of ice follows the function Cp es = 0.0062 Tfrozen + 2.0649. Cp of frozen product =      kJ / kg ° C.
