Brayton Cycle (Gas Turbine) Ideal vs Real Operation for Power Application Analysis

Course No. M-1036

Credit: 1 PDH

Course Fee: $28.95 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Gordan Feric, P.E.

 

Overview

In this one hour course, the open, simple Brayton Cycle used for stationary power generation is considered.

The Brayton Cycle thermal efficiency is presented only for the air as the working fluid. The thermal efficiency derivation is presented with a simple mathematical approach. The Brayton Cycle is presented in a T - s diagram and its major performance trends (thermal efficiency, specific power output and power output) are plotted in a few figures as a function of compression ratio, gas turbine inlet temperature, working fluid mass flow rate and both isentropic compression and expansion efficiency. It should be noted that this online course does not deal with costs (capital, operational or maintenance).

In this course, the student gets familiar with the Brayton Cycle, its components, T - s diagram, ideal and real operation and major performance trends.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

  • Understand basic energy conversion engineering assumptions and equations
  • Know basic components of the Brayton Cycle (Gas Turbine) and its T - s diagram
