(Answered) : Seafood Processor Wants Freeze 15 Tons Fish Cp 318 Kj Kg C Freezing 167 Kj Kg C Freezing L Q28564393

A seafood processor wants to freeze 15 tons of fish (cp = 3.18kJ/kg°C above freezing and 1.67 kJ/kg°C below freezing; latent heat= 276 kJ/kg) per day from an initial temperature of 10°C to a finaltemperature of -8°C using a stream of cold air. Estimate themaximum capacity of the refrigeration plant required, if it isassumed that the maximum rate of heat extraction from the productis twice the average rate. If the heat-transfer coefficient fromthe air to the evaporator coils, which form the heat exchangerbetween the air and the boiling refrigerant, is 22 J/ m2s°C,calculate the surface area of evaporator coil required
