Lect-6

Ideal Brayton cycle

• Brayton cycle is the basic thermodynamic cycle of gas


turbine engines
• The Brayton cycle consists of four internally reversible
processes:
– 1-2 Isentropic compression (in a compressor)
– 2-3 Constant-pressure heat addition
– 3-4 Isentropic expansion (in a turbine)
– 4-1 Constant-pressure heat rejection
