A historian claims that a cannonball fired at a castle wall would melt on impact with the wall. Let's examine this claim. Assume that the kinetic energy of the cannonball is completely transformed into the internal energy of the cannonball on impact with no energy transferred to the wall. The cannonball is made of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 450 J/kg-K and a melting point of 1811 K. 1)If the cannonball has an initial temperature of 298 K, how fast would the cannonball need to travel in order to reach its melting point on impact?

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
