Abstract: A system for energy conversion including a closed cycle engine containing a volume of working fluid is provided. The engine includes a double-ended piston assembly including a pair of pistons coupled to a connection member. An expansion chamber is separated from a compression chamber by the piston. The engine defines an outer end and an inner end relative to a lateral extension of the piston assembly. A heater body is positioned thermally proximal to the expansion chamber and thermally distal to the compression chamber, and the heater body is positioned at the outer end of the engine. A load device is operably coupled to the piston assembly at the inner end of the engine. The load device is positioned between the pair of pistons of the piston assembly.

The combustion chamber body may be disposed annularly about a longitudinal axis and defining a combustion chamber. The plurality of heating walls may include heat sink. The plurality of heating walls may occupy a radially or concentrically outward position relative to the combustion chamber and may define a corresponding plurality of combustion-gas pathways fluidly communicating with at least a proximal portion of the combustion chamber. During operation, the combustor body may exhibit multi-stage combustion that includes a first combustion zone occupying a distal or medial position of the combustion chamber relative to the longitudinal axis, and a second combustion zone occupying a proximal position relative to the first combustion zone and a radially or concentrically outward position of the combustion chamber and/or a radially or concentrically inward position of the plurality of combustion-gas pathways.

Abstract: A monolithic heater body includes a combustor body and an eductor body. The combustor body has an annulus with an outward annular wall and an inward annular wall. The annulus defines a conditioning conduit between the outward annular wall and the inward annular wall, and a combustion chamber circumferentially surrounded by the inward annular wall. A distal portion of the conditioning conduit fluidly communicates with a distal portion of the combustion chamber. The eductor body defines a plurality of eductive pathway couplets circumferentially spaced about a perimeter of the annulus. Respective ones of the eductive pathway couplets have a motive pathway and an eduction pathway respectively oriented oblique to the annulus and fluidly communicating with the conditioning conduit. Respective ones of the plurality of motive pathways are configured to provide a jet of intake air from a corresponding plurality of intake air pathways to the conditioning conduit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of cooling a gas turbine engine including a core with a compressor section in which the compressor section includes a closed loop cooling circuit having a pump, at least one heat pipe extending from at least one of the stationary vanes, a heat exchanger located within the bypass air flow, and a coolant conduit passing fluidly coupled to the pump and heat exchanger and passing by the heat pipe. The pump pumps coolant through the coolant conduit to draw heat from the heat pipes into the coolant to form heated coolant, the heated coolant then passes through the heat exchanger, where the heat is rejected from the coolant to the bypass air to cool the coolant to form cooled coolant, which is then returned to the heat pipes.

Abstract: A fluid cooling system for use in a gas turbine engine including a fan casing circumscribing a core gas turbine engine includes a heat source configured to transfer heat to a heat transfer fluid and a primary heat exchanger coupled in flow communication with the heat source. The primary heat exchanger is configured to channel the heat transfer fluid therethrough and is coupled to the fan casing. The fluid cooling system also includes a secondary heat exchanger coupled in flow communication with the primary heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger is configured to channel the heat transfer fluid therethrough and is coupled to the core gas turbine engine. The fluid cooling system also includes a bypass mechanism coupled in flow communication with the secondary heat exchanger. The bypass mechanism is selectively moveable based on a temperature of a fluid medium to control a cooling airflow through the secondary heat exchanger.

Abstract: A heat exchanger and a method for additively manufacturing the heat exchanger are provided. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of fluid passageways that are formed by additive manufacturing methods which enable the formation of fluid passageways that are smaller in size, that have thinner walls, and that have complex and intricate heat exchanger features that were not possible using prior manufacturing methods. For example, the fluid passageways may be curvilinear and may include heat exchanging fins that are less than 0.01 inches thick and formed at a fin density of more than four heat exchanging fins per centimeter. In addition, the heat exchanging fins may be angled with respect to the walls of the fluid passageways and adjacent fins may be offset relative to each other.

Abstract: A thermal management system includes a housing, and a monolithic core structure disposed within the housing. An outer surface of the core structure defines at least part of a first passageway. An inner surface of the core structure defines at least part of a second passageway. The core structure includes a separator wall that isolates a first flow passing through the first passageway from a second flow passing through the second passageway. The first passageway is in thermal communication with the second passageway. The core structure includes one or more heat exchanger features, or fins, that are positioned within the first passageway, the second passageway, or both the first and second passageways. The core structure may have a compliant segment coupled to two or more walls.
