This paper is devoted to the analyses and optimization of simple and sophisticated cycles, particularly for various gas turbine engines and aero-engines, to achieve maximum efficiency or maximum specific output. The optimization of such criteria as thermal efficiency, specific output and total performance for gas turbine engines, and overall efficiency and non-dimensional thrust for aero-engines have been performed by the multiplier method. The comparisons of results with analytical solutions establishes the validity of the optimization technique.
