Question

Brayton cycle (gas turbine) consists of:

A
Two isothermals and two adiabatics
B
Two adiabatics and two isobarics
Correct
C
Two isochores and two adiabatics
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.
