  • SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL PLACEMENT IN GAS TURBINE COMBUSTOR
    Publication number: 20230016094
    Abstract: A flame-assisted fuel cell gas turbine hybrid system including a first combustor, a second combustor, and a flame-assisted solid oxide fuel cell configured to receive syngas from the first combustor, react the syngas with oxygen ions to yield carbon dioxide and water, and provide unreacted syngas to the second combustor. The first combustor is configured to receive heated compressed air from an aircraft engine compressor and the second combustor is configured to provide heated air to an aircraft engine gas turbine to generate mechanical power.
    Type: Application
