t... Instructions Project Deliverable 2: Research Brayton cycles (See George Brayton) Literature review on Brayton Cycles. Include a basic summary of how they work and candidate working fluids. Deliverable 2 is

directly related to an Air-Brayton Cycle in your project. The sources for your project are: • Video on Brayton cycle (How Gas Turbines Work? (Detailed Video) - YouTube) Book Chapter 9.8, Air-Brayton Cycle Brayton cycle introductory slides in Resources folder The objective of this Deliverable 1 is to gather, review, and present to your peers how an Air-Brayton cycle works. Your task is . 1. Watch the video on gas turbines 2. Look for additional videos that may help describe Air-Brayton cycles. 3. Review the power point document on the Air-Brayton cycle (Project Resources Folder) 4. Search Google or Google Scholar to determine if Brayton cycles only work with air, or if other working fluids are possible? 5. After performing the tasks described above, answer the following questions in a 2-4 minute pre-recorded powerpoint presentation. • What is a Brayton cycle and what is its purpose? • What are its main components and what do they do? . Compare and contrast the Air-Brayton cycle with the Steam-Rankine cycle. • What are the advantages of using a Brayton cycle? • Can a Brayton cycle use working fluids other than air? • Find some examples of powerplants based on Brayton cycles in U.S. state (examples include natural gas-fired powerplants). Use the EIA.gov state profiles to search for powerplants. https://www.cia.gov/state/?sid-OH Upload your Powerpoint presentation to the Assignments Tab. Upload your video to the Rankine Cycle Research Discussion Board in the Forums tab. You will be graded on the powerpoint presentation content and quality.
