Brayton cycle
text:
The Brayton cycle, also known as the Joule cycle, is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the operation of certain heat engines that have air or some other gas as their working fluid.
It is characterized by isentropic compression and expansion, and isobaric heat addition and rejection, though practical engines have adiabatic rather than isentropic steps. The most common current application is in airbreathing jet engines and gas turbine engines. The engine cycle is named after George Brayton (183
