Claims10
A jet turbine utilizing a cryogenic fuel, said jet turbine comprising:
- a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor downstream of and operatively connected with said low pressure compressor, said low pressure compressor and said high pressure compressor having a configuration capable of compressing and supplying air;
- a cryogenic fuel injector section downstream of said high pressure compressor, said cryogenic fuel injector section having a configuration capable of receiving compressed air from said high pressure compressor, said cryogenic fuel injector section including a plurality of fuel injectors or nozzles having a configuration capable of injecting said cryogenic fuel into said compressed air;
- a cryogenic turbine section downstream of said cryogenic fuel injector section, said cryogenic turbine section having at least one cryogenic turbine, said cryogenic turbine section having a configuration capable of receiving and expanding said compressed air and said cryogenic fuel from said cryogenic fuel injector section;
- a combustor downstream of said cryogenic turbine section, said combustor having a configuration capable of receiving and combusting said compressed air and said cryogenic fuel from said cryogenic turbine section;
- and
- a combustor turbine section downstream of said combustor, said combustor turbine section having a configuration capable of receiving a combustion exhaust from said combustor, said combustor turbine section having at least one combustor turbine operatively connected with said low pressure compressor and said high pressure compressor.
