10 Brayton Cycle: The ideal Cycle for Gas-Turbine Engines Proposed by George Brayton in 870s It is an open cycle, but it can be modeled as a closed cycle by utilizing the air-standard assumptions The two major application areas of gasturbine engines are aircraft propulsion and electric power generation It is made up of four internally reersible processes: Process 2 : Isentropic compression (in a compressor) Process 2 3 : Constant pressure heat addition Process 3 4 : Isentropic expansion (in a turbine) Process 4 : Constant-pressure heat rejection An open-cycle gas-turbine engine A closed-cycle gas-turbine engine

Brayton Cycle: Thermal Efficiency II The thermal efficiency of an ideal Brayton cycle depends on the pressure ratio of the gas turbine and the specific heat ratio of the working fluid.

) In most common designs, the pressure ratio of gas turbines ranges from about to 6 Back work ratio: the ratio of the compressor work to the turbine work w c ( T2 T ) c h2 h p bwr = = = w h h c T T t

14 Brayton Cycle: Thermal Efficiency II The thermal efficiency of an ideal Brayton cycle depends on the pressure ratio of the gas turbine and the specific heat ratio of the working fluid. (The thermal efficiency increases with both of these parameters.) In most common designs, the pressure ratio of gas turbines ranges from about to 6 Back work ratio: the ratio of the compressor work to the turbine work w c ( T2 T ) c h2 h p bwr = = = w h h c T T t 3 4 ( ) Deelopment of Gas Turbines.

15 Ex 5) The Simple Ideal Brayton Cycle A gas-turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio of 8. The gas temperature is 300 K at the compressor inlet and 300 K at the turbine inlet. Utilizing the air-standard assumptions, determine (a) the gas temperature at the exits of the compressor and the turbine, (b) the back work ratio, and (c) the thermal efficiency.

16 Deiation of Actual Gas-Turbine Cycles from Idealized Ones Some pressure drop during the heat-addition and heat rejection processes is ineitable The actual work input to the compressor is more The actual work output from the turbine is less because of irreersibilities The deiation can be accounted for by using the isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and compressor η η c T = = w w w w s a a s h h h h 2 s 2 a 3 3 h h h h 4 a 4 s The deiation of an actual gas-turbine cycle from the ideal Brayton cycle as a result of irreersibilities
