A refrigeration plant stored 10 metric tons of eggs at a temperature of 15°C. To preserve the eggs by not spoiling them, they have to be cooled at -8°C. What is the refrigerating capacity of the plant in TOR if it is cooled for 12 hours? The specific heat of the eggs above and below freezing are 0.95 kcal/kg-°C and 0.4 kcal/kg-°C, respectively. The latent heat of fusion is 68.5 kcal/kg The freezing temperature is -3°C.
