9-3 Air Standard Assumptions
• • • • The working fluid is air, which continuously circulates in a closed loop and always behaves as an ideal gas.
All the processes that make up the cycle are internally reversible.
The combustion process is replaced by a heat addition process from an external source.
The exhaust process is replaced by a heat-rejection process that restores the working fluid to its initial state.

Indicator Diagrams
To compute the work per cycle, use the MEP and the displacement.
Work = MEP x A x Displacement.
MEP = k i Y, where k i is a constant Y = the average ordinate on the indicator diagram.

Important features of the Diesel cycle
• • At r c – = 1, the Diesel and Otto cycles have the same efficiency.
Physical implication for the Diesel cycle: No change in volume when heat is supplied.
– A high value of k compensates for this.
For r c > 1, the Diesel cycle is less efficient than the Otto cycle.

Limitations of the air-standard Carnot cycle
• • Heat addition at constant temperature is difficult and costly.
–
Work is required because fluid expands
.
Heat addition is limited because a large change in volume would imply a low mean pressure in the heat addition process.
–
Frictional effects might become too great if the mean pressure is too low.

The Brayton cycle
The Brayton Cycle
• •
Modern gas turbines operate on an open Brayton cycle.
– Ambient air is drawn at the inlet.
– Exhaust gases are released to the ambient environment.
The air standard Brayton cycle is a closed cycle.
– – All processes are internally reversible.
Air is the working fluid and assumed an ideal gas.

Cycle efficiency
• • • Ideal gas assumptions apply.
All processes internally reversible – Compressor and turbine efficiency are each 100%.
Assume fuel added in the combustor is a small percent (mass or moles) of total flow, and thus air properties provide a good estimate of cycle performance.

The entropy production rates are based on the application of the entropy balance for an open system to each process in the cycle. The heat addition and rejection processes are at the high and low temperatures respectively. Thus, these processes produce an entropy production from the external heat transfer process that is not included in the above calculations.

Example
This example compares several modifications to the basic Brayton cycle : multi-stage compression and expansion with reheat, inter-cooling and regeneration.
Description: In an air-standard gas turbine engine, air at 60 o F and 1 atm enters the compressor with a pressure ratio of 5:1. The turbine inlet temperature is 1500 o F, and the exhaust pressure is 1 atm.
Determine the ratio of turbine work to compressor work and the thermal efficiency under the following operating conditions.
Operating conditions: (a) The engine operates on an ideal Brayton cycle.
(b) The adiabatic efficiency of the turbine and compressor are 0.83 and 0.93, respectively.
(c ) The conditions of (b) hold and a regenerator with an effectiveness of 0.65 is introduced.
Operating conditions: (d) The conditions of (b) and (c ) hold, and an inter-cooler that cools the air to 60 o F at a constant pressure of 35 psia is added.
(e) The inter-cooler is removed and a re-heater the heats the fluid to 1500 o F at a constant pressure of 35 psia is added.
(f) The conditions of (e) hold and the inter cooler of (d) is put back.
Assumptions: (1) All cycles operate on the air-standard basis.
(2) Ideal gas (3) Constant specific heats; k = constant, C p = 0.24 BTU/lbm-R, k = 1.40 = constant.
(4) Internally reversible processes except where isentropic efficiency (adiabatic efficiency) is less than one.
(5) 1 atm = 14.7 psia.
Solution: (a) The engine operates as an ideal Brayton cycle.
