The Brayton cycle the basic thermal power cycle implemented in gas turbines. ASCEND provides support for modelling Brayton cycles with a range of models of increasing complexity.
The models are provided in the file models/johnpye/brayton.a4c

Split Brayton Cycle
This cycle has been identified as highly efficient when the working gas is supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2). The configuration is shown below.
The model brayton_split_co2, contained in the file models/johnpye/brayton_split.a4c, implements this cycle. The T-s diagram of the cycle in our default configuration is shown below:
== Reheat-regenerative
