GAS TURBINE POWER CYCLES:

- Evaluate the performance of gas power cycle for which the working fluid ages throughout entire cycle. Develop simplifying assumption applicable to gas power cycle. Analyze both closed and open gas power cycle. Perform second law analysis of gas power cycle.
Basic consideration in the analysis of power cycles and CARNOT CYCLE :

- The devices or systems used to produce a net power output are often called engines, and the thermodynamic cycles they operate on are called power cycles.
- Thermodynamic cycles can also be categorized as gas cycles and vapor cycles, depending on the phase of the working fluid. In gas cycles, the working fluid remains in the gaseous phase throughout the entire cycle, whereas in vapor cycles the working fluid exists in the vapor phase during one part of the cycle and in the liquid phase during another part.
- Thermodynamic cycles can be categorized yet another way: closed and open cycles. In closed cycles, the working fluid is returned to the initial state at the end of the cycle and is recirculate. In open cycles, the working fluid is renewed at the end of each cycle instead of being recirculate.
