Again, not good at Brayton, but Rankine-reheating is simply an attempt to make Rankine more Carnot. Lastly, In Brayton cycle, I know that reheat has the effect of reducing the efficiency of the cycle if not combined with regeneration.whereas in the Rankine, reheat doesn't need to be accompanied by regernartion.what is the basic reason for this difference?" One might say they increase the efficiency of the engine in terms of power to weight. I don't know too much about Brayton- reheaters, but if you mean afterburners on jetfighters, I don't think they will help your milage, but they will add to kinetic energy (speed and mass) of exhaust, thus thrust/power, in a simple manner, after the turbine. so the reheater, which provides extra heat energy increases drastically the value of the denominator, Qin.then how does the efficiency increase?" The whole idea of reheat in Brayton cycle is to increase the efficiency of the cycle- but efficiency = Wout/ Qin (Heat going in). The turbine has larger capacity, and is fed larger volume gas due to heating, than the compressor, therefore the package delivers positive work. Work-total will be according to the work-law: W=F*d: W=(F*2d)-(F*d)= F*d (This is my choice of equation, presumably not the choice of scholars, but it illustrates well for understanding, I think.) The stroke of the motor is 2d, the compressor has stroke d. Average force to the piston-heads during compression and expansion are therefore the same. The two pistons have the same piston-head-area. In between the two, air is heated to twice the displacement, under constant pressure. Imagine a 50cc piston compressor feeding a 100cc piston air-engine.
but the turbine and compressor are at the ends of the same shaft, then how how we make the turbine do more work?" In a set-up of Brayton cycle, I know that the turbine has to give a greater magnitude of work output than the magnitude of the work done by the compressor (because the turbine has to run the compressor). Both the Brayton and Rankine cycle are vapour cycles, so I don't understand why the difference exists. I asked my prof about this.he said that the reheater forms a different system, so we don't consider the heat from the reheater while calculating efficiency of the cycle.but this doesn't make sense.ģ.
