Estimate the temperature increase of the beef

Reference no: EM13502135

Ground beef may be irradiated with high-energy electrons from a linear accelerator to kill pathogens. In a standard treatment, 1.0 kg of beef receives 4.2 kGy of radiation in 43 s. How much energy is deposited in the beef? What is the average rate (in W) of energy deposition in the beef? Estimate the temperature increase of the beef due to this procedure. The specific heat of beef is approximately 0.77 of that of water.
