Ground beef may be irradiated with high-energy electrons


Ground beef may be irradiated with high-energy electrons from a linear accelerator to kill pathogens. In a standard treatment, 2.0 kg of beef receives 4.5 kGy of radiation in 48 s. (A) How much energy is deposited in the beef in kJ? (B) What is the average rate (in W) of energy deposition in the beef? (C) Estimate the temperature increase of the beef due to this procedure. The specific heat of beef is approximately 0.73 of that of water.
