Brayton Cycle

The compressor inlet temperature of an ideal air-standard Brayton cycle is 520°R and the maximum allowable turbine inlet temperature is 2600°R. Plot the net work developed per unit mass of air flow, in Btu/lb, and the thermal efficiency versus compressor pressure ratio for pressure ratios ranging from 12 to 24. Using your plots, estimate the pressure ratio for maximum net work and the corresponding value of thermal efficiency. Compare the results to those obtained in analyzing the cycle on a cold air-standard basis.
