Mass of ice at -4℃ is needed to cool 115 kg of vegetables in a bunker for 24 hours. The initial temperature of vegetables is assumed to be 30℃. It is also assumed that the average temperature inside the bunker is 7℃ within 24 hours period. If the heat gained in the bunker is equal to the heat removed to cool the vegetable from 30℃ to 7℃ , what would be the required mass of ice per day. Note: Specific heat below freezing of ice = 1.935 kJ/kg-K; Specific heat of vegetables = 3.35 kJ/kg-K

A refrigeration system consumed 28,800 kw-hr per month of energy. There are 20% of energy is lost due to cooling. If COP of the system is 6, find the tons of refrigeration of the system. A newly bought SAMSUNG refrigerator has a power input of 450 watts and a COP of 2.5 is used to cool five large watermelons, 10 kg each, to 8 °C. If the watermelons are initially at 20 °C, determine how long it will take for the refrigerator to cool them. The watermelons can be treated as water whose specific heat is 4.2 kJ/kg-K.
