Abstract: A thermal management system for a propulsion system of an aircraft includes a fluid circuit configured to provide a flow of a compressed fluid from a compressor section of the propulsion system to, in serial flow order, a first turbine, a compressor, a second turbine, a thermal load, and an exhaust sink. A heat exchanger is disposed in a fan stream of the propulsion system at a location along the fluid circuit between the compressor and the second turbine. The fluid circuit extends through and is in thermal communication with the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A method and structure for thermal management for a vehicle is provided. The method includes extracting a flow of compressed fluid from a compressor section of a propulsion system in which the flow of compressed fluid includes a pressure parameter, and generating an output torque via expanding at least a portion of the flow of compressed fluid across a turbine operably connected to a driveshaft. The turbine is positioned downstream of the compressor section and upstream of a cooling system.

Abstract: A method of managing thermal energy in a propulsion system includes diverting a flow of bleed air from a compressor section of the propulsion system. An amount of the flow of bleed air diverted from the compressor section is at least 5% of an inlet flow at an inlet of a high pressure compressor of the compressor section. The flow of bleed air is provided to a thermal management system. The flow of bleed air is passed through an expansion turbine of the thermal management system. The flow of bleed air is provided to a thermal load.
