Question: IQF ( Individually Quick Freezing ) system is a system that allows each grain and particle to freeze separately and quickly by passing cold air

IQF (Individually Quick Freezing) system is a system that allows each grain and particle to freeze separately and quickly by passing cold air over the food items. In the IQF system, strawberries with a diameter of 2.8 cm are frozen by cold air at -40deg C with a speed of 13 m/s. Strawberries enter the IQF system at 25deg C. In this system, calculate the time required for the center point of the strawberries to freeze by using the "Single Term Approximation" method. Strawberries will be considered spheres. (Strawberry-related properties: Freezing point -1.8deg C, density 1050 kg/m3, thermal conductivity coefficient 0.545 W/m K, Thermal diffusivity 0.13x10-6 m2/s, specific 1s13.99 kJ/kg K)
