B. equal to Carnot cycle
C. equal to Brayton cycle
D. less than Carnot cycle
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is: B
SOLUTION
All the given cycles are reversible cycles. For better understanding, all the cycles are explained in detail here:
|
Carnot Cycle - Reversible isothermal compression process. - Reversible adiabatic compression process. - Reversible isothermal expansion process. - Reversible adiabatic expansion process. |
|
|
|
Ericsson cycle -Reversible isothermal compression. - Constant pressure heat addition. - Reversible isothermal expansion. - Constant pressure heat rejection. |
|
|
|
Stirling cycle - Isothermal compression - Constant volume heat addition - Isothermal expansion - Constant volume heat rejection |
|
|
|
Brayton cycle - Isentropic Compression - Isobaric heat addition - Isentropic expansion - Isobaric heat rejection |
