Completely and thoroughly explain how Averages were determined and used by any company that either makes or installs any type of Heating or Air Conditioning Product
You may briefly summarize the concept, but at least 70% of your answer should be an explanation of how that concept is applied to the company specified in the question.

Consider an ideal Brayton cycle with reheat (air standard). The
pressure and temperature of the air at the inlet of the gas turbine
is 1200 kPa and 1000 K respectively. Assume the gas expands to 100
kPa in two stages. Between the stages, the air is reheated at a
constant pressure of 350 kPa to 1000 K. Assume a fully isentropic
process in the turbines.
Find:
(a) the work produced at each stage, in kJ/kg of air flowing.
(b) the heat transfer for the reheat process, in kJ/kg of air
flowing.
(c) the increase in net work as compared to a single stage of
expansion with no reheat.

C++ Primary U.S. interstate highways are numbered 1-99. Odd numbers (like the 5 or 95) go north/south, and evens (like the 10 or 90) go east/west. Auxiliary highways are numbered 100-999, and service the primary highway indicated by the rightmost two digits. Thus, the 405 services the 5, and the 290 services the 90.
Your program will prompt the user to type a highway number ("Please enter a highway number, Ex: 65: "), read in the number typed by the user, and print out whether it is a primary or auxiliary highway. If auxiliary, indicate what primary highway it serves.
Also your program must indicate if the (primary) highway runs north/south or east/west, that it is an invalid number if not between 0 and 999.

The circular fin of diameter D=1mm and length L=25.4mm, made of copper (k=400 W/m.K), are used to enhance heat transfer from a surface that is maintained at temperature Tb=132 °C. and the rod has another end attached to a large surface which is maintained at Te= 0°C. The airflow through the rod surfaces is at T∞ = 0 °C with convection heat transfer coefficient h = 100 W/m2.K. (Hint: use table 3.4 in the lecture slides.)
