Turbine/Propulsion Fuel Heating TRIZ Cases
- Hybrid Gas Turbine Drive With Methanol Reforming for Lower Weight
Methanol reforming and turbine heat recovery raise hybrid drive efficiency while cutting system weight and NOx emissions.
- Gas Turbine Hybrid Drive With Methanol Reforming for Battery Downsizing
Methanol reforming feeds synthesis gas to a gas turbine generator, raising efficiency and reducing hybrid battery size and climate impact.
- Foil Bearing Liquid Removal Using Heat Exchanger and Eductor
Heating and pressurizing pump fluid to gas or supercritical state lets an eductor clear foil-bearing liquid and cut pre-startup windage loss.
- Aircraft Propulsion Assembly With Double-Walled Hydrogen Heating Duct
Hot exhaust gases preheat dihydrogen through a double-walled duct in the bypass chamber, improving combustion efficiency while isolating leaks.
- Aircraft Propulsion Nozzle Vanes for Dihydrogen Preheating
Hot exhaust gases heat dihydrogen through vane-integrated duct sections, improving combustion efficiency without a separate heater.
- Hydrogen Fuel Preheater Baffle Layout for Gas Turbine Engines
Outlet baffles mix burner exhaust before the heat exchanger, enabling compact hydrogen preheating while limiting hot spots and thermoacoustic vibration.
- Aircraft Turbine Fuel Precipitate Separation for Contrail Mitigation
Heating fuel to precipitate and remove particles before combustion helps cut contrail formation while avoiding engine deposits.
- Cryogenic Fuel Bottoming Cycle for Aircraft Thermal Energy Recovery
Cryogenic fuel is compressed, heated, expanded, and remixed to recover exhaust heat and generate extra shaft power in aircraft propulsion.
