Problem 252EUP
Airplane takeoff from an aircraft carrier is assisted by a steam-driven piston/cylinder with an average pressure of 200 psia. A 38 500-lbm airplane should be accelerated from zero to a speed of 100 ft/s, with 30% of the energy coming from the steam piston. Find the needed piston displacement volume.
