Brayton Cycle:

Invented by George Bailey Brayton.

Not commercially successful at that
time.
Frank Whittle, a young cadet shows the
limitations for the piston driven engines
For high speed air craft engines in his
term paper and he refine the cycle.

PV and TS Diagram:

Open Gas Cycle Vs Actual Brayton Cycle

Processes:
1-2 : Isentropic compression in the
Compressor
2-3 : Heat addition at a constant
pressure
3-4 : Isentropic expansion in turbine
4-1 : Heat rejection at a constant
pressure
