सारांश	The Brayton Cycle (also called Joule Cycle) describes the thermodynamic process in gas turbines and jet engines. It consists of four processes: isentropic compression in a compressor, isobaric combustion (heat addition), isentropic expansion in a turbine, and isobaric heat rejection. The Brayton Cycle is the foundation for analyzing aircraft propulsion, ground-based power generation, and simple-cycle gas turbine plants.	The Vapor Compression Cycle is the fundamental thermodynamic cycle for refrigeration systems and heat pumps. It describes how mechanical work is used to transfer heat from a cold space (evaporator) to a warm space (condenser), operating against the natural temperature gradient. The cycle consists of four processes: isentropic compression, isobaric condensation, isenthalpic throttling, and isobaric evaporation.
