ENGINEERING
Refrigerant-134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator as superheated vapor at 0.20 MPa and $-5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at a rate of 0.07 kg/s, and it leaves at 1.2 MPa and $70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}.$ The refrigerant is cooled in the condenser to $44^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 1.15 MPa, and it is throttled to 0.21 MPa. Disregarding any heat transfer and pressure drops in the connecting lines between the components, show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a ) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space and the power input to the compressor, (b) the isentropic efficiency of the compressor, and (c) the COP of the refrigerator.

ENGINEERING
A differential element is subjected to plane strain that has the following components: $$ ε_x = 950(10^{-6}), ε_y = 420(10^{-6}), γ_{xy} = -325(10^{-6}). $$ Use the strain-transformation equations and determine (a) the principal strains and (b) the maximum in-plane shear strain and the associated average strain. In each case specify the orientation of the element and show how the strains deform the element.

If you ever slapped someone or got slapped yourself, you probably remember the burning sensation. Imagine you had the unfortunate occasion of being slapped by an angry person, which caused the temperature of the affected area of your face to rise by 2.4$^\circ{}$C (ouch!). Assuming the slapping hand has a mass of 0.9 kg and about 0.150 kg of the tissue on the face and the hand is affected by the incident, estimate the velocity of the hand just before impact. Take the specific heat of the tissue to be 3.8 kJ/kgK.
