The thermodynamic cycle shown in figure ($T$-$s$ diagram) indicates

1. reversed Carnot cycle
2. reversed Brayton cycle
3. vapor compression cycle
4. vapor absorption cycle

recategorized

Ans: B

Explanation:

• Power/Work consuming cycles are always anti-clockwise in direction
• Brayton Cycle has Constant Pressure Heat Interaction
• Carnot Cycle in TS plane is of rectangle shape
• Vapour cycles are mostly shown with the saturation curves so that we can clearly identify the liquid and gaseous phases and also the superheat zone.
