Question: 2 . A refrigeration system to be installed must be capable of cooling 1 0 , 0 0 0 lbm of pork shoulder from 4

2. A refrigeration system to be installed must be capable of cooling 10,000 lbm of pork
shoulder from 40\deg F to 10\deg F in 2 hours. The pork shoulder has a freezing point of 28\deg F,
water content of 73%, a specific heat above freezing of 0.86 Btu/lbm-\deg F and below
freezing of 0.53 Btu/lbm-\deg F, and a thermal conductivity of 0.71 Btu/hr-ft-\deg F. Assuming
atmospheric conditions, what is the required capacity of refrigeration system?
Use the latent heat of fusion for water (at 1atm), hf=144 Btu/lbm.
3 A chiller is designed to provide 12 tons of cooling to a large commercial building. What
must the flow rate through the chiller be, in gpm, if the temperature of the supply water
from the chiller is 46 F and the temperature of water returning to the chiller is 60\deg F?
Use specific heat of water, cp=1.0 Btu/(lbm-F) and assume no energy loss for the chilled
water transportation
4. A water-source heat pump uses a 100,000 gallon of swimming pool water as a heat
source for a building during the winter. When the heat pump is running at full capacity, it
draws 3.5 tons of energy from the pool. How long would it take the heat pump
continuously running at full capacity to draw the pool temperature down from 60\deg F to
40\deg F? Assume no heat gain to the pool from sunlight or ground conduction
