compressed 'as and o(tain a net positi)e ener'y output
2. Theoryas tur(ine theory- The rayton or the oule cycle is commonly used to analyse
the 'as tur(ine systems and the %i'ure 2 sho+s a Temperature*Entropy T"
dia'ram representation o% an ideal rayton cycle. In %i'ure 2- %rom point 1 to point
2 the air is Isentropically compressed and the heat is supplied at constant
pressure %rom point 2 to point 3. inally the air is isentropically expanded %rom
point 3 to point 4. In practice- the compression process and the expansion
process al+ays increase their entropy alon' the %lo+ path due to the )arious
losses inside the machines. Practically- the process %rom point 2 to point 3 also
experiences the pressure drop alon' the %lo+ path due to losses. 5ence- the
o)erall per%ormance o% the 'as tur(ine hi'hly de)iates %rom the ideal cycle.
