Pv Diagram Gas Turbine Cycle. The work required for the compressor is given by wc h2 h1. Below are p v and t s diagrams of the brayton or joule cycle.
The brayton cycle is one of the most widely used and famous thermodynamic cycles in gas turbine engines internal combustion engines and heat engines. Brayton cycle is named after george brayton an american engineer who developed it. W treal c p t 3 t 4s.
A gas turbine expands 3 kgs of air from 10 bar and 920oc to 1 bar adiabatically with an isentropic efficiency of 92.
Two isentropic reversible adiabatic. The real work done by gas turbine in adiabatic process is then. The high pressure air enters the combustion chamber where the fuel is burned at constant pressure. Adiabatic compression of the working.
