Radial inflow turbines are the preferred architecture for energy extraction from the organic Rankine cycle and the supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle at smaller scales. For such turbines it is possible for fluid to be delivered to the first stage by either a volute or plenum delivery system. For high pressure supercritical CO2 turbines, there are no fully documented fluid delivery systems in liter...

In this paper, the statistical analyses are presented to study the thermal efficiency and power output of gas turbine (GT) power plants. For analyzing gas turbine operation and performance, a novel approach is developed utilizing the response surface methodology (RSM) which is based on the central composite design (CCD) method. An attempt is made to study the effect of some operational factors ...

The investigation of the various heat management concepts using LH2 requires development a modeling environment coupling cryogenic hydrogen fuel system with turbofan performance. This paper presents numerical framework to model hydrogen-fueled gas turbine engines dedicated heat-management system, complemented by an introductory analysis impact precool and intercool in compression system. propul...

Developing hybrid electric aircraft is propitious to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption. Combustion engines coupled with solid oxide cells are proposed for propulsion systems, where the compressor powered by instead of turbines. The thermal cycle new engine obviously different from that conventional combustion can be characterized in temperature entropy diagram under some re...
