COMPARATIVE THERMODYNAMICS FOR BRAYTON AND RANKINE CYCLES.

Author(s) : BEANS E. W.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE THERMAL EFFICIENCY, WORK PER UNIT MASS, AND WORK PER UNIT VOLUME OF THE SIMPLE RANKINE AND BRAYTON CYCLES ARE EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF 7 INDEPENDENT VARIABLES USING A SIMPLIFIED THERMODYNAMIC MODEL. BY REQUIRING EQUAL EFFICIENCY, EQUAL WORK CONDITIONS, AND THE SAME MAXIMUM CYCLE TEMPERATURE FOR BOTH CYCLES, 2 NECESSARY RELATIONSHIPS ARE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE 7 INDEPENDENT VARIABLES. THESE 2 RELATIONSHIPS ALONG WITH 2 MAXIMUM WORK CONDITIONS PRODUCE A METHOD FOR COMPARING REQUIRED AND SELECTED PROPERTIES. THESE COMPARISONS PROVIDE USEFUL GUIDELINES FOR THE SELECTION OF THE CYCLE AND CYCLE FLUIDS. (PASCAL, Bibliogr. int., ENERG., FR., N 3, 1991, 1633.
