Question:
A tennis ball machine fires tennis balls at 40 mph. The cylinder of the machine is 1 m long; the installed compressor can reach about 50 psig in a reasonable amount of time. The tennis ball is about 3 inches in diameter and weighs about 0.125 lbm. Estimate the initial volume required in the pressurized firing chamber. [Note the tennis ball machine fires horizontally and the tennis ball can be treated as a frictionless piston. Don’t be surprised if an iterative solution is necessary and ln (V2 / V1) = ln(1 + ΔV/V1)].
