The ideal efficiency of a Brayton cycle without regeneration, with increase in pressure ratio will
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
In a Brayton cycle without regeneration, the ideal efficiency increases with an increase in pressure ratio.
The efficiency of a Brayton cycle without regeneration is given by:
where η is the cycle efficiency, r is the pressure ratio (pmax/pmin), and k is the specific heat ratio.
As the pressure ratio increases, the denominator term (1/rk-1) decreases, resulting in a higher efficiency.
Therefore, the correct option is Increase.
The efficiency of a Brayton cycle without regeneration is given by:
η = 1 - (1/rk-1)where η is the cycle efficiency, r is the pressure ratio (pmax/pmin), and k is the specific heat ratio.
As the pressure ratio increases, the denominator term (1/rk-1) decreases, resulting in a higher efficiency.
Therefore, the correct option is Increase.
