Abstract
1392665 Jet propulsion engines TEXACO DEVELOPMENT CORP 6 Feb 1973 5827/73 Heading F1J The invention relates to a reaction propulsion system comprising an air intake, an air compressor driven by a turbine the working fluid of which is fuel which has been heated in a first heat exchanger disposed in the air intake and in a second heat exchanger associated with the air compressor, the fuel discharging from the turbine into a combustion chamber where it is burned with air discharging from the air compressor; the gases discharge from the combustion chamber through a propulsion nozzle. The engine shown in Fig. 1 comprises an air intake 14, an air compressor 42, a turbine 36 driving the compressor through shaft 46, a combustion chamber 54 and a propulsion nozzle 60. Fuel from tank 20 is discharged by pump 24 through a heat exchanger 18 disposed in the air intake 14 whereby the fuel is heated and is discharged through line 28 to a flow control valve 30. Fuel may pass from the control valve 30 through line 32 to a nozzle 34 which directs the fuel on to turbine 36, the fuel discharging from the turbine through outlets 56, 55 to a combustion chamber 54 from which the gases discharge through propulsion nozzle 60. Fuel may also be directed from the control valve 30 through outlet 38, control valve 39 and line 39 to a heat exchanger 40 associated with the blades of the air compressor 42 whereby the fuel is further heated, the fuel passing through line 48, control valve 49, line 51 and restrictor 49 back to the control valve 30. Fuel may also be directed from the control valve 49 through line 53 and restrictor 53' into conduit 26 for flow into the heat exchanger 18. Fuel may also pass from the control valve 30 through line 50 to a nozzle 52 located in the combustion chamber. In a second embodiment a further heat exchanger (164) is disposed in the combustion chamber (154) so that at low Mach members when the fuel is not sufficiently heated in the air intake heat exchanger (118) the fuel may be heated by heat exchange with the combustion gases. In this embodiment, the heat exchanger associated with the air compressor is disposed downstream of each stage of the compressor.
