This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240425194 titled 'AIRCRAFT POWER PLANT WITH AMMONIA-FUELED POWER GENERATION
Original Abstract Submitted
there is provided a power generation system for recuperating waste heat in an aircraft power plant. the power generation system includes a source of ammonia; an ammonia cracker in fluid communication with the source and decomposing the ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen; a separator in fluid communication with the ammonia cracker, the separator separating the hydrogen and nitrogen from the ammonia cracker, the separator having a first outlet for a first output including hydrogen and a second outlet for a second output including hydrogen and nitrogen; a fuel cell in fluid communication with the first outlet of the separator, the fuel cell using the hydrogen of the first output of the separator and an oxidizing agent to generate electrical energy; and a thermal engine in fluid communication with the second outlet of the separator, the thermal engine using the hydrogen of the second output of the separator to generate mechanical energy.
