"From the earth to the moon". In Jules Verne’s 1865 story with this title, three men went to the moon in a shell fired from a giant cannon sunk in the earth in Florida.

(a) Find the minimum muzzle speed needed to shoot a shell straight up to an altitude equal to the 2 times earth’s radius RE.

(b) Find the minimum muzzle speed that would allow a shell to reach the height of the moon, 385,000 km, center of the earth to center of the moon

An open feedwater heater operates at steady state with liquid entering at inlet 1 with t? = 40°c and pl = 1 .2 mpa. water vapor att2-200°c and p2 = 1.2 mpa enters at inlet 2. saturated liquid water exits with a pressure of pa 1.2 mpa. neglect heat transfer with the surroundings and all kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of steam at inlet 2 if the mass flow rate of liquid water at inlet 1 is given as 2 kg/s.
