Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a core flow path in communication with a compressor section, combustor section and a turbine section. A first bottoming cycle system includes a bottoming working fluid flow in thermal communication with a high energy exhaust gas flow that is generated by the core engine. The first bottoming cycle is configured to recover power from the high energy exhaust gas flow in a first engine operating condition and in a second engine operating condition. A second bottoming cycle system is configured to recover power from the high energy exhaust gas flow in the first engine operating condition and not to recover power in a second engine operating condition.

Abstract: A powertrain system of an aircraft includes one or more electrical components to provide electrical power to one or more electrical loads of the aircraft. The system further includes a rechargeable cryogenic heat sink containing a volume of cryogenic cooling material. The cryogenic heat sink is configured to cool the one or more electrical components. A method of operating a powertrain system of an aircraft includes generating thermal energy at one or more electrical components of the powertrain system, fluidly connecting a cryogenic heat sink to the one or more electrical components, and cooling the one or more electrical components via a volume of cryogenic cooling material of the cryogenic heat sink.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core engine that includes a core flow path that connects a compressor section, combustor section and a turbine section. The gas turbine engine further includes a bottoming cycle system that includes a supercritical CO2 (sCO2) working fluid flow. A first recuperator is disposed in the core flow path downstream of the turbine section, the first recuperator is configured to transfer thermal energy from a core flow aft of the turbine section to the sCO2 working fluid flow. A second recuperator is disposed in the compressor section, the second recuperator is configured to transfer thermal energy from the sCO2 working fluid flow to a location forward of the combustor section.

Abstract: A process for uncertainty quantification for a predictive defect model for multi-laser additive manufacturing of a part including executing computational fluid dynamics modeling of a gas flow in an additive manufacturing machine manufacturing chamber; assigning a spatter particle size, velocity and direction relative to a melt pool on a powder bed disposed on a build plate within the manufacturing chamber; executing computational fluid dynamics post processing for spatter particle tracking; predicting a spatter particle landing pattern; feeding the spatter particle landing pattern prediction into a defect model; producing a layer thickness map, the layer thickness map configured to demonstrate a location of locally thicker layers on the part; and predicting defect location and density to accumulate lack-of-fusion risk as a function of part placement, orientation, and scan strategy.

Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a core engine that includes a core flow path that is in communication with a compressor section, combustor section and a turbine section, the core engine is configured to generate a high energy gas flow, a first cycle turbine that is configured to drive a first cycle compressor at a cycle speed in response to expansion of a heated working fluid flow between a first inlet and a first outlet of the first cycle turbine, and a first power turbine that is configured to drive a first output shaft at a power speed that is different than the cycle speed in response to expansion of a working fluid flow received from the first outlet of the first cycle turbine.
