Tensile strength, hardness and elongation of samples treated at 520 ℃ for 30 min are 566 MPa (σb), 512 MPa (σ0.2), HB 148 and 8.23% (δ), respectively. There are certain amount of fine T1 (AI2CuLi) phase dispersing among AI substrates according to TEM images. This may result in mixed fracture morphology with trans-granular and inter-granular delamination cracks observed in SEM images.展开更多

This study develops a convenient area method for visualizing the heat-transfer imperfection of a HEN in terms of temperature-heat flow diagrams ( T-Q diagrams) by combining the composite curves that have already been used in pinch analysis and the re- cently developed entransy analysis. It is shown that the area between the hot and cold composite curves and the hot and cold utility lines on a T-Q diagram is just equal to the total entransy dissipation rate during the multi-stream heat transfer process occurred in a HEN, and this area can be used to graphically represent the total heat-transfer imperfection of the HEN. The increase in heat recovery or decrease in energy requirements with decreasing the minimum temperature difference, ATmin, of a HEN can then be attributed to a lower entransy dissipation rate, quantitatively represented by the decrease of the area between the composite curves and the utility lines. In addition, the differences between the T-Q diagram and the pre-existing energy level-enthalpy flow diagram (12-H diagram) in the roles of visualizing process imperfection and designing HENs are dis- cussed.展开更多
