(or series of turbines). Some of the work extracted by the turbine is used to drive the compressor.
# isobaric process - heat rejection (in the atmosphere).

Actual Brayton cycle:

# adiabatic process - compression
# isobaric process - heat addition
# adiabatic process - expansion
# isobaric process - heat rejection

Since neither the compression nor the expansion can be truly isentropic, losses through the compressor and the expander represent sources of inescapable
