Question

Two ideal Brayton cycles (see Figure below) have the same inlet temperature and the same maximum temperature of the turbine inlet. Brayton Cycle A has a higher compression ratio than Cycle B. Which of the following statements is true about the cycles?

Cycle A has a higher thermal efficiency and Cycle B has a higher work net for a given mass flow rate.
 
Cycle B has a higher thermal efficiency and a higher work net for a given mass flow rate.
 
Since the temperatures are the same the efficiencies and work net are also the same.
 
Cycle A has a higher work net for a given mass flow rate and Cycle B has a higher thermal efficiency.
 
Cycle A has a higher thermal efficiency and a higher work net for a given mass flow rate.
