Briefly describe (with the use of diagrams) the Brayton’s cycle and
derive the formula for
the coefficient of performance for the Brayton’s cycl
A Brayton cycle that is driven in reverse, via net work input, and when air is the working fluid, is the gas refrigeration cycle or Bell Coleman cycle. Its purpose is to move heat, rather than produce work. It is also sometimes known as the Joule cycle.
The joule cycle consist of 4 processses :-
1-2: Reversible, adiabatic compression in a compressor
2-3: Reversible, isobaric heat rejection in a heat exchanger
3-4: Reversible, adiabatic expansion in a turbine
4-1: Reversible, isobaric heat absorption in a heat exchanger
This is a typical reversed brayton cycle
please
do rate me good i hope it helps ill clarify your doubts
