An underground AC plant requires the delivery of 250 US gpm (15.85 US gpm = 1.0 lps) of chilled water. For this purpose, ice-pellets at 0°C temperature (latent heat of melting, 334 kJ/kg) are mixed with water at 20°C (specific heat 4.18 kJ/kg0C) on the surface. The mixture is adiabatically transported to the underground location such that the water at 7°C becomes available for the AC plant. The requirement of ice-pellets in tonne/hr to meet the design condition, is __________. (round off to two decimal places)

Correct : 7.00
