The Brayton cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that describes the workings of the gas turbine engine, basis of the jet engine and others. It is named after George Brayton (18301892), the American engineer who developed it, although it was originally proposed and patented by Englishman John Barber in 1791. It is also sometimes known as the Joule cycle.

Intercooling
Multistage compression with intercooling reduces compressor work. Increases both work ratio & specific work output. Decrease thermal efficiency & hence used along with heat exchanger.

Regeneration
Heat Energy from Exhaust is transferred to the compressed air before it enters the combustion chamber. Saving of fuel . Reduction of waste heat. Increase thermal efficiency.

Reheat
Increases the work output of the GT plant. No Effect on thermal efficiency because the extra work is obtained at the expense of additional fuel.

High pressure turbine (HPT): In the beginning the starting motor runs the compressor shaft. The hot gases(products of combustion) expands through the high pressure turbine. It is important to note that when the HPT shaft rotates it infact drives the compressor shaft which is coupled to it. Now the HPT runs the compressor and the starting motor is stopped. Note : About 66% of the power developed by the gas turbine power plant is used to run the compressor.

Only 34% of the power developed by the plant is used to generate electric power.
