10. What is Mollier diagram? Can it be used to determine properties of wet steam?

SECTION-B

1. a) What is difference between sorting and grading? Write a brief on the various graders and sorters used for fruits.
   b) Describe various types of mixers used for low viscosity liquid mixing. Mention their distinguished features and applications.
2. A tunnel dryer is used to dry potatoes from initial moisture content of 75% (w.b.) to final moisture content of 5% (w.b.). An experimental drying curve for the potatoes indicate that the critical moisture content is 30% (w.b.) and the time for constant drying is 10 min. Based on this data, estimate the total drying time for the potatoes.

   b) A thermal process is accomplished by instantaneous heating to 138°C followed by a 4 sec hold and instantaneous cooling. Estimate the lethality at 121°C when the thermal resistance constant (z) for the microorganism is 8.5°C.
2. a) Explain the crystallization process using different theories. Describe a batch crystallizer with a neat diagram.
   b) A food block of size 25cm x 50cm x 75cm is to be frozen in refrigerated with the plate temperature at 239 K. How long it will take to freeze if the food is wrapped in a package of 0.1 cm thickness. What would be the freezing time without packaging? Assume that for the plate freezer surface heat transfer coefficient is 600J/ms°C, thermal conductivity of frozen meat and packaged material is 1.6 and 0.06 J/ms°C. The latent heat of fusion of the food is 256 kJ/kg and density is 1090 kg/m³. Assume that meat freezes at 271K. Use Plank’s equation and take values of shape factors P= 0.275 & R=0.078.
3. a) Discuss the criteria for the selection of a suitable evaporator. Explain the factors that influence the rate of heat transfer and economy of evaporators.
   b) The orange juice is being concentrated from 5 to 30% solids in a single-effect continuous evaporator. The juice at 20°C is fed to the evaporator at 5000 kg/h. Steam is available at 100°C. The saturation temperature of vapour in the evaporator is 50°C. The condensate leaves the evaporator at 75°C and the solution has a negligible boiling point elevation. The latent heat of vaporization at 50°C is 2382.7 kJ/kg. The specific heat of orange juice is 4.05 kJ/kg°C. Calculate the steam requirement and steam economy.
