[#179] The ideal efficiency of a Brayton cycle without regeneration, with increase in pressure ratio will
Correct Answer
(A) Increase
Explanation
Solution: In a Brayton cycle without regeneration, the ideal efficiency increases with an increase in pressure ratio. The efficiency of a Brayton cycle without regeneration is given by: η = 1 - (1/r k-1 ) where η is the cycle efficiency, r is the pressure ratio (p max /p min ), and k is the specific heat ratio. As the pressure ratio increases, the denominator term (1/r k-1 ) decreases, resulting in a higher efficiency. Therefore, the correct option is Increase.
