Compressor and prime mover have identical pressure ratios

Reference no: EM131348501

The air standard Ericsson cycle (see Figure 13.40) is made up of an isothermal compressor (T₂ = T₃ = T_L), an isothermal prime mover (T₁ = T₄ = T_H), and an isobaric regenerator (p₁ = p₂ and p₃ = p₄).

Show that the compressor and prime mover must have identical pressure ratios, that is, p₂/p₃ = p₁/p₄, and show that this also requires that v₃/v₂ = v₄/v₁.
