THERMAL CALCULATION OF HYDROGEN FUEL GASIFIER HEAT EXCHANGER FOR AIRCRAFT GAS-TURBINE ENGINE

The article substantiates the possibility of using hydrogen fuel as an alternative to aviation kerosene for aircraft engines. The necessity of cooling the air in front of the engine compressor has been proven. The necessity of gasification of liquid hydrogen before supplying it to the combustion chamber of the engine is substantiated. A design has been proposed for a liquid hydrogen gasifier heat exchanger, in which the air entering the compressor is cooled due to the heat of hydrogen vaporization. A method for thermal calculation of a heat exchanger-gasifier has been developed.
