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%

Therefore the efficiency of the cycle is 60.18928294%


and the correct answer is letter A.
