    Stirling Cycle and The Ericsson Cycle. They Differ From The Carnot Cycle in That The Two

    1. The document discusses four thermodynamic cycles - Stirling, Ericsson, Brayton, and Carnot cycles. It notes that the Stirling and Ericsson cycles differ from the Carnot cycle in their regeneration processes. 2. It provides an overview of the key processes in an ideal Brayton cycle - isentropic compression, constant pressure heat addition, isentropic expansion, and constant pressure heat rejection. 3. It explains that the efficiency of a Brayton cycle depends on the pressure ratio and specific heat ratio of the working fluid, and discusses efforts to improve gas turbine efficiency through increasing temperatures, efficiencies, and modifications like intercooling and regeneration.

    1- Stirling cycle and the Ericsson cycle.

    They differ from the Carnot cycle in that the two


    isentropic processes are replaced by two constant-volume regeneration processes in the
    Stirling cycle and by two constant-pressure regeneration processes in the Ericsson cycle.
    2- All three cycles must have the same thermal efficiency when operating between the same
    temperature
    limits:

    3- The Brayton cycle was first proposed by George Brayton for use in the reciprocating oil-
    burning engine that he developed around 1870. Today, it is used for gas turbines only
    where both the compression and expansion processes take place in rotating machinery.
    Gas turbines usually operate on an open Cycle.

    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

    4- The thermal efficiency of an ideal Brayton cycle depends on the pressure ratio of the gas
    turbine and the specific heat ratio of the working fluid.

    5- For a fixed turbine inlet temperature T3, the net work output per cycle increases with the
    pressure ratio, reaches a maximum, and then starts to decrease.
    6- In gas-turbine power plants, the ratio of the compressor work to the turbine work, called
    the back work ratio, is very high (Fig. 9–34). Usually more than one-half of the turbine
    work output is used to drive the compressor. The situation is even worse when the
    isentropic efficiencies of the compressor and the turbine are low. This is quite in contrast
    to steam power plants, where the back work ratio is only a few percent. This is not
    surprising, however, since a liquid is compressed in steam power plants instead of a gas,
    and the steady-flow work is proportional to the specific volume of the working fluid. A
    power plant with a high back work ratio requires a larger turbine to provide the additional
    power requirements of the compressor. Therefore, the turbines used in gas-turbine power
    plants are larger than those used in steam power plants of the same net power output.

    7- The efforts to improve the cycle efficiency concentrated in three areas:


    1. Increasing the turbine inlet (or firing) temperatures
    2. Increasing the efficiencies of turbomachinery components
    3. Adding modifications to the basic cycle The simple-cycle efficiencies of early gas
    turbines were practically doubled by incorporating intercooling,regeneration (or
    recuperation), and reheating,

    8- The high-pressure air leaving the compressor can be heated by transferring heat to it
    from the hot exhaust gases in a counter-flow heat exchanger, which is also known as a
    regenerator or a recuperator
