  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 ...

  3. George Brayton - Wikipedia

    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]

  4. Inverted Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Brayton_cycle

    Inverted Brayton Cycle (IBC) (also known as Subatmospheric Brayton cycle) is another version of the conventional Brayton cycle but with a turbine positioned immediately in the inlet of the system. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

  5. Gas turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine

    The basic operation of the gas turbine is a Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid: atmospheric air flows through the compressor that brings it to higher pressure; energy is then added by spraying fuel into the air and igniting it so that the combustion generates a high-temperature flow; this high-temperature pressurized gas enters a ...

    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.

  9. Ericsson cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson_cycle

    The "Brayton cycle" is now known as the gas turbine cycle, which differs from the original "Brayton cycle" in the use of a turbine compressor and expander. The gas turbine cycle is used for all modern gas turbine and turbojet engines, however simple cycle turbines are often recuperated to improve efficiency and these recuperated turbines more ...
