Here's my problem:
For each kW of power input to an icemaker at steady state, determine the maximum rate that ice can be produced in kg/h, from liquid water at 0 C. Assume that 333 kJ/kg of energy must be removed by heat transfer to freeze water at 0 C, and that the surroundings are at 20 C.
I know that W = 1 kw, Tc = 0C=273 K, Th = 20C=293 K.
Since the device operates at steady state, W = Qh - Qc.
I also know that W/Qh is less than or equal to (1- Tc/Th)
Could someone give me a hint on where to start with this one? What is the 333 kJ/kg?
Thanks!
