Abstract: Gas turbine engines are described. The gas turbine engines includes a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section, and a nozzle section. The compressor section, the combustor section, the turbine section, and the nozzle section define a core flow path that expels through the nozzle section. A cooling duct is provided that is separate from the core flow path. A waste heat recovery system is arranged with a heat rejection heat exchanger arranged within the cooling duct and a blower is arranged within the cooling duct and configured to generate a pressure drop across the heat rejection heat exchanger.

Abstract: A recuperated gas turbine engine includes an engine core that has a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section. An exhaust duct is located downstream of the turbine section for receiving a hot turbine exhaust stream from the turbine section. The exhaust duct includes a heat exchanger and a temperature-control module upstream of the heat exchanger. A compressor bleed line leads from the compressor section into the heat exchanger and a compressor return line leads from the heat exchanger into the engine core upstream of the combustor section. The compressor bleed line is operable to selectively feed compressed air to the heat exchanger, and the temperature-control module is operable to selectively modulate at least one of temperature and flow of the hot turbine exhaust stream with respect to the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A heat exchanger has arcuate inlet and outlet manifolds and a plurality of tube banks, each tube bank coupling one of the inlet manifold outlets to an associated one of the outlet manifold inlets. Each tube bank partially nests with one or more others of the tube banks and has: a first header coupled to the associated inlet manifold outlet and the associated the outlet manifold inlet; a second header; and a plurality of tube bundles each having a first end coupled to the associated first header and a second end coupled to the associated second header. A flowpath from the each inlet manifold outlet passes sequentially through flowpath legs formed by each of the tube bundles in the associated tube bank to exit the tube bank to the associated outlet manifold inlet.
