Brayton and Rankine cycles are respectively used in gas and steam turbines. They are used to describe the performance as well as optimize the performance of gas and steam systems that depends on heating and cooling applications to increase/maximize the outputs of these power generation systems. Figures 23 and 24 respectively show closed-cycle system of components and process diagrams for Brayton cycle. Figures 25 and 26 respectively show cycle system of components and process diagrams for Rankine cycle. The Brayton cycle is more efficient than the Rankine cycle, but the Rankine cycle can generate more power because it uses water as its working fluid (Ighodaro and Osikhuemhe [59]). Table 5 compares Brayton and Rankine cycles.

Rankine cycle power efficiency can be increased by selection of optimum increased pressure of boiler/evaporator, by selection of optimum decreased pressure of condenser, by making use of the processes of reheating and superheating possible with steam turbine expansion, and by adoption the process of heat regeneration. Rankine cycle power efficiency can also be increased by using supercritical Rankine cycle which is applicable to SCWRs and supercritical fossil fuel power plants.
