  2. Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_cycle

    The Brayton cycle, also known as the Joule cycle, is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the operation of certain heat engines that have air or some other gas as their working fluid. It is characterized by isentropic compression and expansion, and isobaric heat addition and rejection, though practical engines have adiabatic rather than ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Brayton

    Brayton not only achieved success in making the constant pressure cycle work, but he also made and marketed a commercial product. Brayton cycle engines were some of the first engines to be used for motive power. In 1881 John Philip Holland used a Brayton engine to power the world's first successful self-propelled submarine, the Fenian Ram. [5]

    One is the Joule or Brayton cycle which is a gas turbine cycle and the other is the Rankine cycle which is a steam turbine cycle. [5] The cycle 1-2-3-4-1 which is the gas turbine power plant cycle is the topping cycle. It depicts the heat and work transfer process taking place in the high temperature region.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allam_power_cycle

    The Allam-Fetvedt Cycle is a recuperated, high-pressure, Brayton cycle employing a transcritical CO 2 working fluid with an oxy-fuel combustion regime. This cycle begins by burning a gaseous fuel with oxygen and a hot, high-pressure, recycled supercritical CO 2 working fluid in a combustor.
