Tóm tắt	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 Rankine Cycle is the fundamental thermodynamic cycle for steam power plants. It describes how thermal energy from burning fuel or concentrated solar radiation is converted to mechanical work and ultimately electricity. The cycle consists of four processes: isobaric heat addition in the boiler, isentropic expansion through the turbine, isobaric heat rejection in the condenser, and isentropic compression by the pump.
