Question 22
XE-GNAT2 marksNeeds review
Freezing of 100 mm spherical meat ball with 60% moisture at 35 °C is being done in an air blast freezer maintained at -45 °C. Given, latent heat of fusion for water is 333.2 kJ kg⁻¹, thermal conductivity of meat is 1.5 W m⁻¹ °C⁻¹, convective heat transfer coefficient is 40 W m⁻² °C⁻¹, density of frozen meat is 980 kg m⁻³ and initial freezing temperature of meat ball is -10 °C. Using Plank’s equation, freezing time (h) is ____________ (round off to 2 decimal places).
