Q

Determine the heat required to thaw 100 kg of frozen orange juice, bring it to the boil and evaporate 25 kg of water from the juice. The process takes place at atmospheric pressure. Use: Initial juice temperature = -10C Freezing point of juice = 0C Boiling point of juice = 100C Specific heats: frozen juice = 2.01 kJ/kgK; liquid juice = 3.98 kJ/kg K Latent heats: fusion = 333.2 kJ/kg; vaporisation = 2257 kJ/kg

A

heat the frozen juice from -10 to 0C: requires π‘š πΆπ‘π‘–π‘π‘’βˆ†π‘‡ (ii) melt the juice: requires π‘šβˆ†β„Žπ‘“π‘’π‘ π‘–π‘œπ‘› (iii) heat the liquid juice from 0 to 100C: requires π‘š πΆπ‘π‘™π‘–π‘žβˆ†π‘‡ (iv) boil the juice: requires π‘šβˆ†β„Žπ‘’π‘£π‘Žπ‘ So the heat needed is (i) 100*2.01*10+100*333.2+100*3.98*100+25*2257 = 131 555 kJ

28
Q

What are the properties of a black body?

A

Absorbs all incident radiation.

For a given temperture and wavelength no body can emit more than a black body.

The radiation emitted by blackbody is a function of wavelength and temperature but it is independent on direction and its construction, e.g. blackbody is a diffusive emitter.

29
Q

spectral emissive power

A

the rate at which radiation at wavelength Ξ» is emitted in all directions per unit surface area.

As temperture increases, it produces lower wavelengths.

30
Q

A

It states that the product of the wavelengths at maximum spectral emission power and temperature is constant:

Ξ»max *T =C3 ,

where C3 =2897.8 ( ΞΌm*K) is the third radiation constant
