Question

Brayton cycle (gas turbine) consists of:
  1. A
    Two isothermals and two adiabatics
  2. B
    Two adiabatics and two isobarics
    Correct
  3. C
    Two isochores and two adiabatics
  4. D
    Four isothermals

Correct answer

Two adiabatics and two isobarics

Explanation

Brayton cycle: adiabatic compression → isobaric heat addition (combustion chamber) → adiabatic expansion (turbine) → isobaric heat rejection. Used in jet engines and gas turbines.
