Question: Using Pham's method, calculate the time for freezing a meatloaf ( moisture content = 8 5 % ) with the following dimensions: length = 2

Using Pham's method, calculate the time for freezing a meatloaf (moisture content =
85%) with the following dimensions: length =25cm, width =12cm, height =10cm.
The convective heat transfer coefficient is 40Wsq*m-degC. The air temperature is -30
degC. The initial temperature of the meatloaf is 10degC and the required final
temperature of the frozen meatloaf is -15degC. The thermal conductivity of the frozen
meat is 1.5Wm.deg C and the specific heat of unfrozen and frozen meat is 3.4kJKg.deg
C and 1.9kJKg.degC, respectively. Assume a constant density of meatloaf is 1020
kgcu.m.
