Consider an ideal Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The pressure ratio of the cycle is 10, mass flow rate is 200 kg/s and the minimum and maximum temperatures are 300 and 1500 K, respectively. Now the pressure ratio is increased 50 percent without changing the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle. Assuming constant specific heats, compare both operational conditions in terms power and thermal efficiency. Also show both cycles in T-s diagram together.
