Applying heat pipes to a novel concept aero engine Part 1-Design of a heat-pipe heat exchanger for an intercooled aero engine
This research (inspired by our participation in the multinational EU projects VITAL (AIP4-CT-2004-012271, £550k) and NEWAC (AIP5-CT-2006-030876, £400k) evaluated technoeconomic aspects and risks of related changes in engine anatomy and the associated performance benefits that could contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions by up to 10% compared to contemporary (2005-10) power plants. It supported the research of partners to compare different engines and heat exchanger options for the future enabling even more environment friendly civil aviation. This paper focuses on one type of power plant while that above focuses on another. Agreed contact andrew.rolt@rolls-royce.com.
