Question:
8000 liters
of water at 25 oC is to be converted into
ice at -4 oC in 1day.
Find the
capacity of refrigeration system.
Take
Specific heat of ice as 2kJ/kg-K
Latent heat
of ice as 336kJ/kg-K
Specific
heat of water as 4.2kJ/kg-K
Solution:
Given Data:
M=8000lts
Temp of
water= 25oC
Temp of ice
=-4 oC
Cp of ice = 2 kJ/kg-K
Cp of water
= 4.2 kJ/kg-k
Latent heat
of water = 336 kL/kg-k
Sensible
Heat of water:
QAB =mCp(A-B)
= 8000x4.2(25-0)
= 840000 kJ
Latent Heat
QBC = mL
= 8000x336
= 2688000 kJ
Sensible
Heat of ice
QCD =
mCp(C-D)
= 8000x2(0-(4)) 84
= 64000 kJ
Total
Cooling effect(N)= QAB + QBC + QCD
N = 840000+2688000+64000
N= 3592000 kJ
= 11.87 TR
Note: Ton of Refrigeration means refrigeration capacity in this problem
