    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a cracking device that is configured to decompose a portion of an ammonia flow into a flow of component parts of the ammonia flow, a thermal transfer device that is configured to heat the ammonia flow to a temperature above 500° C. (932° F.), a combustor that is configured to receive and combust the flow of component parts of the ammonia flow to generate a high energy gas flow, a compressor section that is configured to supply compressed air to the combustor, and a turbine section in flow communication with the high energy gas flow produced by the combustor and mechanically coupled to drive the compressor section.

    Abstract: A fuel system for a gas turbine engine includes a main fuel pump generating a main fuel flow into a main fuel passage and a secondary pump generating a secondary fuel flow into a secondary flow passage. A first control valve is disposed in a passage between the main fuel passage and the secondary flow passage. The first control valve selectively directs an excess portion of the main fuel flow to the secondary flow passage to provide at least a portion of the secondary fuel flow.
