Consider a 10:1 pressure rise in the ideal compressor with air as the working fluid compared to the a pump with water as the working fluid and the same pressure rise and same inlet pressure. Check all that apply The compreesor takes 300 times more work/unit mass as the pump The work per unit mass is about the same between the two. Becase the pump deals iwth a liquid the work will be higher. The compressor in a Brayton cycle has a much greater effect on performance than a pump in a Rankine cycle.
