  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. Thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_cycle

    Thermodynamic cycles may be used to model real devices and systems, typically by making a series of assumptions to reduce the problem to a more manageable form. [2] For example, as shown in the figure, devices such a gas turbine or jet engine can be modeled as a Brayton cycle. The actual device is made up of a series of stages, each of which is ...

  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 ]

    Differs from Otto cycle in that V 1 < V 4. Brayton: adiabatic: isobaric: adiabatic: isobaric Ramjets, turbojets, -props, and -shafts. Originally developed for use in reciprocating engines. The external combustion version of this cycle is known as the first Ericsson cycle from 1833. Diesel: adiabatic: isobaric: adiabatic: isochoric Diesel engine ...

  6. Template talk:Thermodynamic cycles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:...

    Why are Staged Combustion, Gas Generator, and the Expander Cycle listed like thermodynamic cycles? [ edit ] I like rockets too but these are pretty specialized terms that are basically applications of other listed cycles (brayton for the first two, supercritical rankine for the third).

  7. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and...

    Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. [1] A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature. [2]

  8. Jet engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine

    Air-breathing jet engines typically feature a rotating air compressor powered by a turbine, with the leftover power providing thrust through the propelling nozzle—this process is known as the Brayton thermodynamic cycle. Jet aircraft use such engines for long-distance travel. Early jet aircraft used turbojet engines that were relatively ...

A closed-cycle gas turbine is a turbine that uses a gas (e.g. air, nitrogen, helium, argon, [1] [2] etc.) for the working fluid as part of a closed thermodynamic ...
