A microwave oven operates on the principle that application of a high-frequency field causes electrically polarized molecules su

ch as water within the food to oscillate. Rapid alignment and reversal of water molecules results in a nearly uniform generation of thermal energy within the food and, in turn, cooking of the food. When the food is initially frozen, however, the water molecules do not readily oscillate in response to the microwaves, and the volumetric heat generation rates are between one and two orders of magnitude lower than if the water were in liquid form. Microwave power that is not absorbed in the food is reflected back to the microwave generator, where it is dissipated in the form of heat to prevent damage to the generator.
a. Consider a frozen, 1-kg spherical piece of ground beef at an initial temperature of -20 degrees C placed in a microwave oven with total power of 1 kW, air temperature of 30 degrees C, and heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m^2*K. Assuming the temperature within the beef to be uniform, determine how long it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0 degrees C, with all the water in the form of ice and 3% of the oven power absorbed by the food. You may assume the physical properties of the beef to be the same as those of ice (p = 920 kg/m^3; c = 2,000 J/kg*K; k = 2.2 W/m*K) in this case.

b. After all the ice is converted to liquid, determine how long it would take to heat the beef to a uniform temperature of 80 degrees C if the temperature within the beef is still assumed to be uniform and 95% of the oven power is absorbed in the food. Assume the properties of the beef are now the same as those of liquid water (p = 1,000 kg/m^3; c = 4,200 J/kg*K; k = 0.6 W/m*K).

c. When thawing food in microwave ovens, you may observe that part of the food is still frozen while other parts of the food are overcooked. Can you explain why this occurs? Explain why most microwave ovens have thaw cycles with very low oven power

Answer:

a

The time it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0⁰C is t= 662 sec = 11.93 min

b)

The time it would take to heat the beef to uniform temperature of 80⁰C is

t = 365 sec =5.93 min

c

 Efficient absorption of Microwave power is in regions of liquid water . Hence if the food or the microwave irradiation  is not uniform, the power will be absorbed non-uniformly, resulting in a non-uniform temperature rise. Defrost region will absorb more energy per unit volume than frozen region.if food is of low thermal conductivity, there will be insufficient time for heat conduction to make the temperature more uniform.Use of low power allows more time for conduction to occur.

Find the sum 5.24 g, 43.261 g, and 7.3458 g. Write your answer with the correct amount of significant figures.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

This is how I do it:

  • 5.24 rounded to one significant figure is 5
  • 43.261 rounded to one significant figure is 40.
  • 7.3458 rounded to one significant figure is 7.
  • 5 + 40 + 7 is 52 g

Hope this helps you.
