Q1.Food irradiation is a process that exposes food to radiation. Irradiation can be used to kill
the bacteria that cause food poisoning or to slow down the ripening of fresh fruit and
vegetables. Frozen foods and food inside packaging can also be irradiated.
(a) The table gives information about five radioactive isotopes.
Isotope Half-life Radiation emitted
Caesium-134 2.1 years beta
Cobalt-60 5.3 years gamma
Curium-242 160 days alpha
Strontium-90 28 years beta
Technetium-
99
6 hours gamma
Which of these radioactive isotopes would be most suitable for irradiating
food?
Explain the reasons for your choice.

Acommercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -35°c by rejecting waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°c at a rate of 0.25 kg/s and leaves at 26°c. the refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 mpa and 50°c. if the compressor consumes 3.3 kw of power, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the refrigerant, (b) the refrigeration load, (c) the cop, and (d) the minimum power input to the compressor for the same refrigeration load.
