Abstract: A turbofan engine includes a fan, a core turbine engine having an exhaust section, and a hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger in flow communication with the exhaust section and hydrogen flowing along a hydrogen supply line. The hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger defines a load capacity factor determined by raising a product to a one-quarter power, the product being determined by multiplying a heat transfer surface area density associated with the hydrogen-exhaust gas heat exchanger by a process conductance parameter that relates characteristics of hydrogen, ambient air, and exhaust gas at takeoff, as well as a fan diameter of the fan and an overall pressure ratio of the turbofan engine. The load capacity factor is between 2.92 and 24 for the fan diameter being between 0.5 and 5 meters and the heat transfer surface area density being between 500 m2/m3 and 13,000 m2/m3.

Abstract: Described herein is a system for relieving pressure in a drillstring on a drilling rig. The system includes a remote switch which moves from a closed-valve position to an open-valve position. The system also includes a valve actuator which moves from a first valve actuator position to a second valve actuator position when the remote switch moves from the closed-valve position to the open-valve position. The system further includes a valve to route a drilling fluid from the drillstring to a flowline via a bleed-off line when the valve moves from a closed position to an open position as the valve actuator moves from the first valve actuator position to the second valve actuator position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to air drilling and an apparatus, system and process for air storage for speeding up and making the air drilling process in a wellbore more efficient. The present air storage system is used to divert high pressurized air from the air compressors into an air storage tank for storage during drilling process of adding another piece of pipe to the well. In the present invention, the compressed air can be stored in the air storage system until the connection is made and the driller is ready to resume drilling. This high pressurized, large volume of stored air in the air storage system helps the compressors quickly build up enough air to resume the drilling process thus reducing the amount of drill downtime during the process of making a new pipe connection in a well.
