Difference between Brayton cycle & Rankine cycle - Thermodynamics

Q.  What is the difference between the Brayton cycle and the Rankine cycle?
- Published on 20 Aug 15

a. Brayton cycle has two reversible isobars whereas Rankine cycle has two isotherms
b. The working fluid of Brayton cycle always remains in gaseous phase whereas in Rankine cycle the working fluid undergoes phase change
c. Brayton cycle operates between higher pressure ratio than the Rankine cycle for same capacity
d. all of the above

ANSWER: The working fluid of Brayton cycle always remains in gaseous phase whereas in Rankine cycle the working fluid undergoes phase change
