Question

The mango pulp is being heated in Food Processing Lab. Of PMAS- Arid Agriculture University in a stainless-steel container (1.8’ deep, 2’ long and 1’ wide container) at 80 °C. The pulp was initially at room temperature. Calculate the mango pulp temperature after 5 min and 10 min of heating. The convective heat-transfer coefficient of container is 4 kW/(m2 °C). Use appropriate values where necessary. What would be the effect on temperature after 5min and 10 min if the depth of the container reduces to 1’.

Answer 1

Mango pulp temperature =34.2°C

Increased temperature will lower the amount of change in the temperatures
