Abstract: The paper introduces a novel method for generalized heat exchanger (HX) design and evaluation, freeing the process from predefined geometries. It aims to facilitate early-stage conceptual exploration, allowing the designer ...

Abstract: Hydrogen is being considered as a possible path toward carbon-neutral aviation. There are additional advantages besides its main benefit of CO2-free combustion. One application is to use it for aero engine heat management ...

Abstract: In this paper, four key design parameters with a strong influence on the performance of a highsolidity variable pitch vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) operating at low tipspeedratio (TSR) are addressed. To this aim, a ...

Abstract: An exergy framework was developed taking into consideration a detailed analysis of the heat exchanger (HEX) (intercooler (IC)) component irreversibilities. Moreover, it was further extended to include an adequate formulation ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the synergistic combination of intercooling with pulsed detonation combustion is analyzed concerning its contribution to NOx and CO2 emissions. CO2 is directly proportional to fuel burn and can, ...
