Abstract: An engine assembly includes a combustor, a fuel cell stack integrated with the combustor, and a pre-burner system fluidly connected to the fuel cell stack. The fuel cell stack is configured to direct fuel and air exhaust from the fuel cell stack into the combustor. The pre-burner system is configured to control a temperature of an air flow directed into the fuel cell stack. The combustor is configured to combust the fuel and air exhaust from the fuel cell stack into one or more gaseous combustion products that drive a downstream turbine. The engine assembly can further include a catalytic partial oxidation convertor that is fluidly connected to the fuel cell stack. The catalytic partial oxidation convertor is configured to develop a hydrogen rich fuel stream to be directed into the fuel cell stack.

Abstract: A fuel cell unit that includes a support structure having a plurality of flow channels and an active layer membrane coupled with the support structure, the active layer membrane comprising at least one electrode layer. Each flow channel of the plurality of flow channels is configured to direct one of air and fuel across at least one electrode layer of an active layer membrane to create electric current. Each flow channel of the plurality of flow channels includes at least one enhancement feature that is configured to disrupt a formation of a boundary layer near a surface of the active layer membrane where reactions occur. The plurality of flow channels can be positioned in a zig-zag configuration to allow for an increase in power density of the fuel cell unit.

Abstract: A fuel mixer configured to provide a fuel-air mixture to a combustor of an engine. The fuel mixer may include a mixer body having a mixer outer wall, a center body, an annular passageway defined between the mixer outer wall and the center body, and a fuel tube assembly placed circumferentially about the mixer body. The fuel tube assembly may include at least one fuel channel for injecting a fuel flow into the annular passageway. The fuel tube assembly may be configured to cool a boundary layer flow present in the annular passageway. The fuel tube assembly may be configured to cool the mixer outer wall, the center body, or both the mixer outer wall and the center body. Heat from the mixer outer wall, the center body, or both the mixer outer wall and the center body, may pass to the fuel flow in the fuel tube assembly.
