Strengthening of Alloys

Strengthening of the alloys is required as metals become weak due to various lattice defects, metal bonding phenomena. The strength of the metals is not enough for any mechanical work. The internal dislocations of any metals arise due to forming processes. Due to the movement of these dislocations, the metals are plastically deformed.

Steam is to be condensed by direct injection of cold water. The steam enters the condenser at the rate of (450 kg/hr) with dryness fraction of (0.9) and pressure (1 bar). The estimated heat losses from the condenser to the surroundings is (8500 kJ/hr). If cold water enters at (15"C) and the mixture of condensate and cooling water is to leave at (95"C). Determine the required flow of cooling water.
HW Linde process is used for air liquefaction. The high-pressure gas leaving the compressor is at 120 bar and is cooled to 306 K (516 kJ/kg) before it is sent through the heat exchanger where it exchanges heat with low pressure gas leaving the separator at 2 bar. A 14 K approach is desired at the hot end of the exchanger so that the low-pressure gas leaving the exchanger is at 292 K (526 kJ/kg). Enthalpy of saturated liquid and saturated vapour at 2 bar are 121 kJ/kg and 314 kJ/kg, respectively. Determine: (a) The fraction of the air liquefied during expansion. (b) Temperature of the air on the high-pressure side of the throttle valve.
