Abstract: A fuel injector for a combustion engine includes an injector head including a nozzle, a premixer, and a distributor structured to distribute a plurality of different fuels to different sets of fueling orifices in the premixer. A pilot assembly of the fuel injector is coupled to the premixer and includes a first fueling passage for a first fuel and a second fueling passage for a second fuel. Multiple sets of fueling orifices are positioned within the fuel injector, the fueling orifice sets being selectively connectable to a plurality of different fuel supplies, and both located and sized so as to accommodate a wide range of flow rates to enable a combustion engine coupled with the fuel injector to operate on fuels having a range of Wobbe numbers and compositions.

Abstract: A system may be configured to use heat energy to produce power and potable water. The system may include an organic rankine cycle (ORC) subsystem configured to receive heat energy from one or more sources and convert that heat energy into usable power. The system may also include an air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) subsystem configured to receive heat energy from the ORC subsystem and use the heat energy to convert impure water into potable water.

Abstract: An airfoil for a turbomachine such as a gas turbine engine includes a pressure side and a suction side, a flow-distributing forward wall and an inner cooling wall. A switchbacked passage extends through the airfoil, and the flow-distributing forward wall has a plurality of jetting orifices formed therein and connecting the switchbacked passage to a forward cavity. The jetting orifices are oriented to produce wall jets of cooling fluid directed in an upstream direction toward a back side of the leading edge. A second passage extends between the forward cavity and outlets of the airfoil, so as to convey cooling fluid in a downstream direction toward the outlets.

Abstract: An airfoil for a turbomachine such as a gas turbine engine includes a switchbacked passage for conveying cooling fluid, and flow-distribution passages in a forward wall so as to direct cooling fluid from the internal passage for back side impingement upon a leading edge of the airfoil. An inner cooling wall forms a passage for discharging the spent cooling air from a trailing edge of the airfoil after impingement, and cools one of a pressure side and a suction side of the airfoil by way of conduction. The switchbacked passage may have a serpentine form.

Abstract: A fuel injector for a combustion engine includes an injector body having formed therein a first passage structured to feed a fuel to an outlet of the injector body, and a second passage structured to feed air to the outlet of the injector body. Flow-directing surfaces are exposed to a flow of fuel through the first passage to induce swirl, and a flow segregator is positioned between the flows of fuel and air such that the air shrouds the swirling flow of fuel and inhibits migration of fuel radially outwardly from the fuel injector outlet.

Abstract: A fuel injector for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The fuel injector includes a flange assembly with a distribution block, three main gas tubes, and an injector head. The distribution block evenly distributes a main gas fuel to the three main gas tubes. The injector head includes an injector body with a primary gas gallery including an annular shape. The three main gas tubes are connected in a parallel configuration between the distribution block and the primary gas gallery. The three main gas tubes are all in flow communication with the primary gas gallery and provide the main gas fuel from the same main gas fuel source.
