1. A cold storage plant is required to store 20 tons of fish. The fish is supplied at a temperature of 30°C. The specific heat of fish above freezing point 2.93 kJ/kgK. The specific heat of fish below freezing point is 1.26 kJ/kgK. The fish is stored in cold storage which is maintained at -8 °C. The freezing point of fish is -4 °C. The Latent heat of fish 235 kJ/kg. If the plant requires 75 kW to drive it and the actual C.O.P. of the plant is 30% of its Carnot C.O.P. Figure out the time taken to achieve the cooling. [5] 2.93 kJ/kgK 235 kJ/kg 1.26 kJ/kgK Hints: 30°C -4 °C -4°C -8 °C Q1 Q2 Q3
