Explain why Brayton cycle is more preferred over Rankin cycle in power plant stations? And how would you enhance the performance of a Brayton cycle?
For a Rankine cycle, decreasing minimum pressure while holding all other parameters constant will allow an engineer to make the following statements Group of answer choices The quality at the turbine exit will decrease increasing liquid water content and back stage turbine damage, Turbine net work output will increase due to the reduced pressure at the exit The quality at the turbine exit will increase improving turbine reliability The average temperature at which heat is rejected will increase increasing thermal efficiency
Question: How does the Brayton cycle work in gas turbines, and what are its key components?
Consider a simple ideal Rankine cycle and an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwaterheater. The two cycles are very much alike, except the feedwater in the regenerative cycle is heated byextracting some steam just before it enters the turbine. Compare the efficiencies of these two cycles.
