(English Unit) A 100-pound meat is moved to the cold storage room. During preparation for storage, the meat may warm up to 45°F. That means the meat must be cooled to 32°F before it will begin to freeze. The average latent heat of fusion amounts to about 90 Btu/lb for meat. After freezing, the meat is subcooled to the quick-freeze temperature of 14 oF. The meat has a specific heat below and above freezing point of 0.7 and 0.4 Btu/ lb-oR, respectively. Find the total heat removed from cooling BTU.

Latent heat of fusion is the heat given up as a substance freezes. The latentheat of fusion for water is 144 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb). Thismeans that 144 Btu are given up for each pound of water that freezes. Howmany British thermal units of heat are given up when 4,000 pounds of waterfreeze?
a tray of liquid water is placed in a freezer where it cools from 20 deg C to "-5" deg C. what is the total amount of energy needed to freeze per unit of liquid water? the specific heat of ice is half of the specific heat of liquid water. the latent heat of fusion for water is 335 kj/kg include diagram
If you add heat of magnitude 800 kJ to a mass of 800g of water originally at a temperature 75 degrees C and the water eventually begins to boil. The latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.6 x 105 J/kg, and its specific heat capacity is 4186 J/kg · K. How much water is left in the container? How much heat does its take to get rid of all the water? How long would it take the water to boil away? Please do fast asap
Hello Sir,Good Morning.I have a question in my homework related thermodynamics lesson. The following below is my question. Please advice. Thank you. Regards,Irfan An air conditioning system is used to keep the house at 65°F when the outside temperature is 85°F. The house gets heat through the walls and windows at a rate of 810 Btu/min, and the rate of heat generation inside the house from occupants, lights, and equipment is 120 Btu/min. Determine the minimum power input required for this air conditioning system.
An air-cooled window DX unit is used for space cooling. The unit has a capacity of 4.5 tons and has a SEER of 15. If the unit operates for 2204 hours during the summer, how many kWh of electricity will be used? Hint: In the U.S., the SEER is the ratio of cooling in British thermal units (BTUs) to the electrical energy consumed in watt-hours. You may need to convert the unit in this process.

Suppose you have two kettles – a plug-in electric kettle and a stovetop kettle. The electric kettle uses electricity from a natural gas fired powerplant, while you boil water in your stovetop kettle on a natural gas burner. a) Based on the following information, which of these kettles demonstrates a higher energy efficiency (i.e., which is more efficient at using energy from fuel to heat water)? Please calculate the efficiencies of each kettle and express answers as percentages. -The natural gas power plant converts chemical energy of the natural gas to electricalenergy with 58% efficiency. -High-voltage power lines from the power plant to your house convey electricity with92% efficiency. -The electric kettle converts electrical energy to thermal energy in the water with 85%efficiency (the other 15% heats up the kettle itself). -The stove burner converts chemical energy of natural gas to thermal energy with 98%efficiency (the other 2% is light). -The stovetop kettle transfers 35% of…

What is the specific heat (cp) of Nitrogen, Helium and Carbon Dioxide. My answers are 1.04, 5.193, and 0.858 all in Kj/kg-k
Why is specific heat an intensive property?
To determine the specific heat of an object, a student heats itto 100 °C in boiling water. She then places the 34.5-g object in a151-g aluminum calorimeter containing 114 g of water. The aluminum and water are initially at a temperature of 20.0 °C, and arethermally insulated from their surroundings. If the final temperature is 23.6 °C, what is the specific heat of the object? Referring toTable 16-2, identify the material in the object.
