Thermodynamic Cycles: Prepared By: Muzzamil Shahzad Process Engineering Intern Engro Powergen Thar Limited (EPTL)

The document discusses two thermodynamic cycles - the Rankine cycle and the Brayton cycle. The Rankine cycle involves water being compressed into a pump, heated into steam in a boiler, expanding through a turbine to produce work, and condensed back into a liquid. The Brayton cycle involves air being compressed in a compressor, heated at constant pressure, expanding in a turbine to produce work, and rejecting heat at constant pressure. Both cycles describe the theoretical processes that steam turbines and gas turbines use to convert heat into mechanical work.

Rankine Cycle
Rankine cycle is the theoretical cycle on which the steam turbine (or
engine) works.
The Rankine cycle is shown in Fig. It comprises of the following
processes :
1-2 Isentropic compression: Water enters the pump as state 1
as saturated liquid and is compressed isentropically to the
operating pressure of the boiler.
2-3: Const P heat addition Saturated water enters the boiler and
leaves it as superheated vapor at state 3
3-4: Isentropic expansion Superheated vapor expands
isentropically in turbine and produces work.
4-1: Const P heat rejection High quality steam is condensed in
the condenser
Brayton Cycle
Brayton cycle is the theoretical cycle on
which the gas turbine works. The steps
involved are:
1-2 Isentropic compression (in a
compressor)
2-3 Constant-pressure heat addition
3-4 Isentropic expansion (in a turbine)
4-1 Constant-pressure heat rejection
