Activities to develop
Individual activity
1.- Meat steak is placed in a microwave oven that is working with a 915
MHz frequency, in order to carry out the steak cooking. The steak has
dimensions of 11 cm × 14 cm and 0.9 cm of thickness. It is considered
that the heat generation inside the meat is uniform, and under the work
conditions there can be considered average values of 49 and 0.59 for
the dielectric constant and the tangent of losses, respectively. The steak
is considered to have arrived at its cooking point when it reaches 70 °C.
If initially the meat is at 21 °C, it is wished to know the required time to
cook the meat. Data: Microwave oven is working under 3 V/cm for
electric field intensity. Meat properties: Density 1200 kg/m3. Specific
heat 3.35 kJ/(kg °C).
2.- It is wished to carry out the cooking of meat paste using an ohmic
treatment chamber of 19 L. Initially the meat paste is at 23 °C, and the
treatment finishes when it has reached 66 °C. Calculate the treatment
time if through the circuit an intensity of 11.5 A is passing. Assume that
the paste possesses dielectric properties that do not change with the
temperature and they are uniform in all the chamber points. Meat paste
properties: Density 1250 kg/m3. Specific heat 3.4 kJ/(kg °C). Electric
resistance 20 Ω.
In addition to the above, the group will follow with the select thermal
process at Phase 2. Each student will search the databases of the e-
library, one paper in English of no more than 5 years old, in which the
selected topic be treat. The paper must come from a scientific journal.
The student will share in the forum the one paper and a short review of
its content in a maximum of half a page per article, which includes the
following aspects:
a. Objectives of the study.
b. Description of the methodology.
c. Main conclusions of the study.
Collaborative activity:
The collaborative group should review the contributions of their peers,
so that each student makes corrections on their individual contribution,
if necessary. It only needs to submit a job in Word with the full
calculations to determine the required time to cook the meat.
