(Solved)
An aluminium tray of mass 400g containing 300g of water is placed in a refrigerator. After 80 minutes, the
tray is removed and it is found that 60g of water remains unfrozen at 0^oC. If the initial temperature of the tray and its contents was 20^oC, determine the average amount of heat removed per minute by the refrigerator. Take s.h.c of aluminium = 900JKg-1K-1, s.h.c of water = 4200JKg-1K-1, s.l.h. of fusion of ice = 3.4*25JKg
