Thermodynamic Performance and Creep Life Assessment Comparing Hydrogen- and Jet-Fueled Turbofan Aero Engine

There is renewed interest in hydrogen as an alternative fuel for aero engines, due to their perceived environmental and performance benefits compared jet fuel. This paper presents a cycle, thermal performance, energy creep life assessment of with fuel, using turbofan engine. The cycle was simulated code developed by the authors that allows be selected input. exergy uses both conservations mass second law thermodynamics understand impact fuels on destruction, efficiency, waste factor ratio, effect sustainability index Finally, study looks at top-level high-pressure turbine hot section influenced heating values. shows (64% reduced flow rate, better SFC) more extended blade (15% increase) liquefied which corresponds other literary work LH2 over also highlights some drawbacks based previous research work, gives recommendations future aimed maturing concept aviation.
