Two ideal Brayton cycles (see Figure below) have the same inlet temperature and the same maximum temperature of the turbine inlet. Brayton Cycle A has a higher compression ratio than Cycle B. Which of the following statements is true about the cycles? Cycle A has a higher thermal efficiency and Cycle B has a higher work net for a given mass flow rate. Cycle B has a higher thermal efficiency and a higher work net for a given mass flow rate. Since the temperatures are the same the efficiencies and work net are also the same. Cycle A has a higher work net for a given mass flow rate and Cycle B has a higher thermal efficiency. Cycle A has a higher thermal efficiency and a higher work net for a given mass flow rate.

Exhaust gases from the turbine of a simple Brayton cycle are quite hot and may be used for other thermal purposes. One proposed use is generating saturated steam at 110C from water at 30C in a boiler. This steam will be distributed to several buildings on a college campus for space heating. A Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 6 is to be used for this purpose. Plot the power produced, the flow rate of produced steam, and the maximum cycle temperature as functions of the rate at which heat is added to the cycle. The temperature at the turbine inlet is not to exceed 2000C.
