    Comparison of Brayton Cycle With Otto Cycle

    The document compares the Brayton and Otto thermodynamic cycles. The Brayton cycle, used in gas turbines, is a constant pressure cycle where work is done as volume increases and heat is added as temperature increases. The Otto cycle, used in gasoline engines, is a constant volume cycle where heat is added as pressure increases and work is done as temperature increases. The Brayton cycle handles a larger volume range and smaller temperature/pressure range compared to the Otto cycle. It is also better suited than the Otto cycle for steady flow devices like gas turbines since it is harder to transfer heat at constant volume.

    Comparison of Brayton Cycle with Otto Cycle

    The thermodynamic cycle Brayton cycle can be compared with the Otto cycle to deduce the following
    points:

    1. Comparison of Pressure-volume and Temperature-entropy diagrams between the air-standard


    Brayton cycle and Otto cycle

    2. For the same compression ratio and work capacity, Brayton cycle handles a larger range of
    volume and a smaller range of temperature and pressure.
    3. A reciprocating engine cannot efficiently handle a large volume flow of low-pressure gas, and the
    friction losses also become more. So, the Otto cycle is more suitable for the reciprocating type of
    field.
    4. An internal combustion engine is exposed to the highest temperature (after combustion of fuel)
    only for a short duration, and it gets time to become cool in the other processes of the
    thermodynamic cycle. On the other hand, gas turbine plant, a steady flow device, is always
    exposed to the highest temperature used. So to protect the material, the maximum temperature
    of the gas that can be utilized in a gas turbine plant cannot be as high as in an internal
    combustion engine. In the steady flow machinery, it is harder to carry out heat transfer at
    constant volume (Otto cycle) than at constant pressure (Brayton cycle).
    A constant pressure cycle is a thermodynamic process in which the pressure of the system remains
    constant while the volume and temperature of the system change. In this type of cycle, work is done
    on the system as the volume increases, and heat is added to the system as the temperature
    increases.On the other hand, a constant volume cycle is a thermodynamic process in which the
    volume of the system remains constant while the pressure and temperature of the system change. In
    this type of cycle, heat is added to the system as the pressure increases, and work is done on the
    system as the temperature increases.In summary, the main difference between a constant pressure
    cycle and a constant volume cycle is the variable that remains constant during the process. In a
    constant pressure cycle, the pressure remains constant, while in a constant volume cycle, the volume
    remains constant.

    One example of a constant pressure cycle is the Brayton cycle, which is used in gas turbine engines. In
    the Brayton cycle, air is compressed at a constant pressure, then fuel is added and burned, which
    causes the temperature and volume of the air to increase, and the air expands and does work on a
    turbine. The exhaust gases are then discharged at a constant pressure.

    An example of a constant volume cycle is the Otto cycle, which is used in gasoline engines. In the Otto
    cycle, a fuel-air mixture is ignited in a fixed-volume combustion chamber, causing the pressure and
    temperature to increase, and the gases expand and do work on a piston. The exhaust gases are then
    discharged from the combustion chamber, and the process is repeated. During the entire process, the
    volume of the combustion chamber remains constant.
