The 19 pages that link to Brayton cycle, each with the reason it gives.

• Adiabatic processBroader topic: Its compressor and turbine stages are commonly approximated as isentropic.

• Carnot cycleCompared with: It models gas turbines with processes unlike the Carnot cycle's reversible isotherms.

• TurbofanRelated: The core follows this cycle to power the fan and generate hot exhaust.

• Combined-cycle power plantRelated: It describes the gas-turbine stage that supplies both power and waste heat.

• Thermodynamic cycleBroader topic: It models gas turbines and jet engines using a continuous-flow working fluid.

• Rankine cycleCompared with: Gas turbines use continuous gas flow rather than Rankine-cycle boiling and condensation.

• Jet engineRelated: It describes the idealized cycle followed by the engine’s working gas.

• TurbojetNarrower topic: It models the turbojet's compression, combustion, and expansion sequence.

• TurbopropNarrower topic: The compressor, combustor, and turbine in a turboprop operate through the Brayton cycle.

• Diesel cycleCompared with: It shares constant-pressure heating but models continuous-flow turbomachinery.

• RamjetNarrower topic: The ramjet’s ideal performance is analyzed as an open Brayton cycle.

• Fossil fuel power stationRelated: Gas turbines follow this cycle, often supplying power directly or within combined-cycle stations.

• Alphonse Beau de RochasCompared with: Its continuous-flow approach contrasts with the reciprocating engine cycle he outlined.

• Isentropic processRelated: Its ideal compressor and turbine stages are isentropic.

• Ericsson cycleCompared with: Both use constant-pressure heat transfer, but Ericsson replaces adiabatic legs with isothermal processes and regeneration.

• Stirling cycleCompared with: Its constant-pressure heat-transfer processes differ from the Stirling cycle’s isotherms.

• Gas-fired power plantRelated: It explains the compression, combustion, and expansion that produce gas-turbine work.

• Gas-turbine engineRelated: It idealizes the compression, combustion, and expansion sequence of a gas-turbine engine.

• History of the jet engineRelated: It describes the energy conversion that underlies continuous-flow jet engines.
