Brayton Cycle (Gas Turbine) Efficiency Calculator

Compute ideal Brayton cycle efficiency η = 1 − 1/r_p^((γ−1)/γ) where r_p is pressure ratio. Find optimal pressure ratio for maximum specific work. Evaluate benefit of regeneration at low pressure ratios.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.
