Novel Thermal Energy Conversion Technologies for Advanced Electric Air Vehicles

Rodger Dyson

Open full text 5 citations

Abstract

Future air vehicles will increasingly incorporate electrical powertrains that require very tight integration of power, propulsion, thermal, and airframe technologies. This paper provides an overview of a new category of thermal energy conversion technologies that can be used to provide highly efficient turbo-generation and electric propulsion, while synergistically managing and recycling both the low grade waste heat from electrical components and the high grade waste heat from engine components.
