    L27 - The Brayton Cycle

    Uploaded by

    Haliunaa Batbold
    The document discusses gas power generation using the Brayton cycle. It describes the Brayton cycle process of reversible adiabatic compression, constant pressure heat addition, reversible adiabatic expansion, and constant pressure heat rejection. The thermal efficiency of the Brayton cycle and cold air standard cycle are analyzed. Key parameters that affect the cold air standard cycle thermal efficiency are identified as the pressure ratio, compression ratio, and temperature ratios across the turbine and compressor processes.
