An ice maker operating at steady state makes ice from liquid water at 32°F. Assume that 144 Btu/lb of energy must be removed by heat transfer to freeze water at 32°F and that the surroundings are at 74.50°F. The ice maker consumes 1.4 kW of power. Determine the maximum rate that ice can be produced, in lb/h, the corresponding rate of heat rejection to the surroundings, in Btu/h,
