7.5 The Brayton Cycle The gas turbine is another mechanical system that produces power. It may operate on an open cycle when used as a truck engine, or on a closed cycle when used in a power plant. In open cycle operation, air enters the compressor, passes through a constant-pressure combustion chamber, then through a […]

Power and Refrigeration Gas Cycles: The Air-Standard Cycle , The Carnot Cycle , The Otto Cycle AND The Diesel Cycle
Power and Refrigeration Gas Cycles Several cycles utilize a gas as the working substance, the most common being the Otto cycle and the diesel cycle, used in internal combustion engines. The word “cycle” used in reference to an internal combustion engine is technically incorrect since the working fluid does not undergo a thermodynamic cycle; air […]

Power and Refrigeration Vapor Cycles: The Vapor Refrigeration Cycle and The Heat Pump
6.6 The Vapor Refrigeration Cycle It is possible to extract heat from a space by operating a vapor cycle, similar to the Rankine cycle, in reverse. Work input is required in the operation of such a cycle, as shown in Fig. 6.10a. The work is input by a compressor that increases the pressure, and thereby […]

Power and Refrigeration Vapor Cycles: The Rankine Cycle , Rankine Cycle Effi ciency , The Reheat Cycle , The Regenerative Cycle and Effect of Losses on Power Cycle Effi ciency
Power and Refrigeration Vapor Cycles The ideal Carnot cycle is used as a model against which all real and all other ideal cycles are compared. The efficiency of a Carnot power cycle is the maximum possible for any power cycle. We observed that the Carnot-cycle efficiency is increased by raising the temperature at which heat […]
