2. A mass of ice at – 8 deg C is required to cool 4Mton of vegetables (Cp= 3.35 kJ/kg K)
in a bunker for 4 days. The initial temp of vegetables is 26 deg C and the average
temp inside the bunker in 4 days is 10 deg C. If the heat gain per hr in the bunker is
20% of the heat to be removed from the vegetables, what would be the mass of ice in
kg? (1Mton= 1000 kg)

Solution:
Q i=Q s+ Q g M i C pi ( t f −t i )+ M i L+ M w C pw ( t e −t f ) =Q s +0.2 Q sbut M w =M i

4. A 40-TOR, ammonia ice plant operates on a simple saturation cycle with the
following temperatures: condensing temp = 35 0C and evaporating temp = - 15 0C. It
produces tons of ice per day at – 6 0C from water with raw temperature of 25 0C. Draw
the cycle on PH plane and determine:
(a) The tons of ice it can produce in one day at – 8 deg C if the raw temperature of
water is 28 deg C.
