    ok...here's the problem,..I can't s

    ok...here's the problem,..I can't seem to get my units to equal out - I'm overlooking something: Qt = F.Cp.(T1-T2)+ F.Jc.W2.Y + Qm + Qw Qt: Total Energy (heat) F: flow rate Cp: specific heat of product T1/T2: temperatures in and out Jc: Latent heat of crystallization W2: Solid fat content at...

    Thermo problem!

    Need to check my calculation. I have a cheese (mozzarella) that has optimal melting characteristics when a heat capacity of 675 J/g is supplied. I need to find out the amount (mass) of steam required to melt the cheese at this optimal point. Cp of steam is 2009 J/kgC. assumptions may me made...
