PROBLEM NO.10
The compression ratio of Brayton cycle is 10.
Find the cycle efficiency.
A. 60.19%
B. 56.18%
C. 54.18%
D. 52.18%
• Given:
or compression ratio – 10
Required:
e or cycle efficiency
Diagram:
• Solution:
The formula for the Efficiency of a Brayton cycle
given the compression ratio is
e = 1- x 100%
Assume that the air is cold, k=1.4
e = 1- x 100%
e = 0.6018928294 x 100%
e = 60.18928294%
