What is the Brayton Cycle commonly known as?

The Brayton Cycle is commonly referred to as a constant pressure cycle. This is because, during the combustion phase of the cycle, the pressure remains relatively constant as fuel is burned and energy is added to the working fluid, typically air. The Brayton Cycle consists of four main processes: compression, combustion (where heat is added), expansion (where work is extracted), and exhaust (where the used gas is expelled). The significant aspect of the combustion process is that it occurs at approximately constant pressure, allowing for efficient energy conversion. This is critical in turbine engine operation, as the constant pressure feature contributes to the cycle's efficiency and performance.
