Explanation Write the relation between the specific enthalpies at the inlet and exit of throttling. h i = h e (I) Here, specific enthalpy of the refrigerant at the inlet of throttling is h i and specific enthalpy of the refrigerant at the exit of throttling is h e . Write the formula to calculate the coefficient of performance ( COP ) for the heat pump. COP = q L w in COP = h 2 − h 4 h 2 − h 1 (II) Here, heat removed is q L , the work input to the system is w in , specific enthalpy at the inlet of compressor is h 1 , specific enthalpy at the exit of compressor is h 2 , specific enthalpy at the inlet of throttling is h 3 , and the specific enthalpy at the exit of throttling is h 4 . Conclusion: From the Table A-12 of “Saturated refrigerant R-134a: Pressure”, obtain the specific enthalpy of saturated vapor ( h 1 ) at compressor inlet pressure of 0.32 MPa as h 1 = h g = 251.93 kJ / kg s 1 = s g = 0.93026 kJ / kg ⋅ K From the Table A-13 of “Superheated refrigerant R-134a”, obtain the specific enthalpy at the corresponding pressure ( P 2 ) of 1.2 MPa and specific entropy ( s 2 ) of 0.93026 kJ / kg ⋅ K by interpolation. Write the formula of extrapolation method of two variables. y 2 = ( x 2 − x 1 ) ( y 3 − y 1 ) ( x 3 − x 1 ) + y 1 (III) Here, the variables denoted by x and y are specific entropy and specific enthalpy. Show temperature and enthalpy values from the Table A-13E. Entropy ( s 2 ) , in kJ / kg ⋅ K Enthalpy ( h 2 ) , in kJ / kg 0

C A cylindrical piece of steel 38 mm (1½ in.) in diameter is to be quenched in moderately agi- tated oil. Surface and center hardnesses must be at least 50 and 40 HRC, respectively. Which of the following alloys satisfy these requirements: 1040, 5140, 4340, 4140, and 8640? Justify your choice(s).

Using the isothermal transformation diagram for a 1.13 wt% C steel alloy (Figure 10.39), determine the final microstructure (in terms of just the microconstituents present) of a small specimen that has been subjected to the following time-temperature treatments. In each case assume that the specimen begins at 920°C (1690°F) and that it has been held at this temperature long enough to have achieved a complete and homogeneous austenitic structure. (a) Rapidly cool to 250°C (480°F), hold for 103 s, then quench to room temperature. (b) Rapidly cool to 775°C (1430°F), hold for 500 s, then quench to room temperature. (c) Rapidly cool to 400°C (750°F), hold for 500 s, then quench to room temperature. (d) Rapidly cool to 700°C (1290°F), hold at this temperature for 105 s, then quench to room temperature. (e) Rapidly cool to 650°C (1200°F), hold at this temperature for 3 s, rapidly cool to 400°C (750°F), hold for 25 s, then quench to room temperature. (f) Rapidly cool to 350°C (660°F), hold for…
