(choose chapter or problem)

A gun is a heat engine. In particular, it is an internal combustion piston engine that does not operate in a cycle, but comes apart during its adiabatic expansion process. A certain gun consists of 1.80 kg of iron. It res one 2.40-gbullet at 320 m/s with an energy efciency of 1.10%. Assume that the body of the gun absorbs all of the energy exhaust and increases uniformly in temperature for a short time before it loses any energy by heat into the environment. Find its temperature increase.
