Problem No. 1:
A creamery must cool 11,350 kg of milk received each day from 30 deg C to 3 deg C in
3 hrs. What must be the capacity of refrigerating machine in tons of refrigeration? Specific
of milk is 3.92 kJ/kg K.

Problem No. 2:
Cold salt brine at – 2 deg C is used in a packing plant to chill beef from 40 deg c to 3.4
deg C in 18 hours. Determine the volume of brine required to cool 100 packs of beeves,
225 kg each if the final temp of brine is 1.7 deg C. (S.G. of brine= 1.05, specific heat of
brine= 3.77 kJ/kg K, specific heat of beef= 3.15).
