Hydrogen-Powered Annular Combustor Design and Aerothermal Optimization for a Short-Haul Large-Bypass Turbofan Engine
Commercial aviation contributes approximately 3% of global CO2 emissions, while nitrogen oxides (NOx) remain a major environmental concern. Hydrogen is a promising carbon-free fuel for future gas turbine engines and offers a potential pathway towards net-zero aviation. This study presents the aerothermal design and CFD...
