Abstract: A constant density heat exchanger and system for energy conversion is provided. The constant density heat exchanger includes a housing extending between a first end and a second end and defining a chamber having an inlet and an outlet. A first flow control device is positioned at the inlet of the chamber and movable between an open position in which a working fluid is permitted into the chamber and a closed position in which the working fluid is prevented from entering the chamber. A second flow control device is positioned at the outlet of the chamber and movable between an open position in which the working fluid is permitted to exit the chamber and a closed position in which the working fluid is prevented from exiting the chamber. A heat exchange fluid imparts thermal energy to the volume of working fluid as the first flow control device and the second flow control device hold the volume of working fluid at constant density within the chamber.

Abstract: A monolithic heat exchanger body includes a plurality of heating walls and a plurality of combustion fins. The plurality of heating walls are configured and arranged in an array of spirals or spiral arcs relative to a longitudinal axis. Adjacent portions of the plurality of heating walls respectively define a corresponding plurality of heating fluid pathways therebetween. The plurality of combustion fins are circumferentially spaced about a perimeter of an inlet plenum. The inlet plenum includes or fluidly communicates with a combustion chamber. The plurality of heating fluid pathways fluidly communicate with the inlet plenum. The plurality of combustion fins occupy a radially or concentrically inward portion of the monolithic heat exchanger body. The plurality of heating fluid pathways have a heat transfer relationship with a heat sink disposed about a radially or concentrically outward portion of the monolithic heat exchanger body. A plurality of conduction breaks disposed radially or concentrically outward relative to the plurality of combustion fins at least partially inhibit heat conduction from the plurality of combustion fins to the plurality of heating walls.

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly includes a first internal flow path configured to channel a flow of fluid to be cooled from a first inlet to a first outlet. The heat exchanger assembly also includes a second internal flow path configured to channel a flow of a first coolant from a first inlet to a first outlet. The heat exchanger assembly further includes an external flow path configured to receive a flow of a second coolant proximate a surface of the external flow path.

Abstract: A fluid cooling system for a gas turbine engine having a core engine and an annular fan casing. The fluid cooling system includes a fluid reservoir positioned within the gas turbine engine and configured to contain a fluid. The system also includes a cold sink positioned within the gas turbine engine and having a lower temperature than the fluid. The system further includes a heat pipe including a first end, a second end, and a conduit extending therebetween, the second end thermally coupled to the cold sink, and the first end thermally coupled to the fluid, where the heat pipe facilitates a transfer of a quantity of heat from the fluid to the cold sink.
