(25 points) Suppose you are designing a refrigeration system in a fruit juice plant to cool oranges. The oranges which have an average mass of 100g are to be cooled from 32C to 10C using air at 2C. You can assume that the specific heat of an orange is 3.81kJkg.K. If
the cooling section is well-insulated, and the oranges enter the cooling section at a rate of 8000 oranges/h, determine
a) the rate of heat removal from the oranges,
b) the required volumetric air flow rate, if the temperature rise of air is not to exceed 5C,
c) the rate of entropy generation in kWK during this process.
You can take the specific heat of air as 1.005kJkg.K
