GAES project - Potential Benefits of Fuel Cell Usage in the Aviation Context EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The “Potential Benefits of Fuel Cell Usage in the Aviation Context” study is part of the EUROCONTROL SEE GAES-Extern project and was initiated in order to assess the potential environmental benefits of fuel cell usage in aviation. The initial objective of this report was the evaluation of the impacts of the replacement of gas turbine Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) by fuel cell powered APU. However, due to the large variety of fuel cells available, and its variety of use in the airports, the scope of the project was widened to include also other applications than APU. As a consequence, a thorough literature review has been performed which highlights the potential benefits of fuel cell usage in the aviation context, besides APU. The APU usage is part of the aircraft emissions. Thus, for environmental considerations it is important to improve the efficiency by reducing the fuel burn and emissions. Fuel cells provide a good solution for both economical and environmental improvements; however the technology is still under development for a widespread use. The report consists of literature review of fuel cell technologies, their specific applications in airports, APU fuel cell replacement case study and following results and conclusions. From the literature review of fuel cell types in airports, some representative parameters such as emission factors are found in order to estimate the emissions. Then a case study is developed which focuses on the replacement of traditional APU by fuel cell APU. A European airport where the traditional APU data exist is used as a case study to evaluate the benefits of using fuel cells in terms of fuel consumption and emissions. The case study defines three scenarios likely to occur at the case study airport. Pollutants considered are NOx mainly even though CO and HC have also been estimated. Fuel burnt is also reported with special interest. The use of fuel cell APU is expected to induce a fuel consumption equal to one third of a traditional gas turbine APU, reducing thereby the emissions. Moreover the fuel cell technology is such that no NOx are generated. Another finding was the need to develop further the fuel cell technology so that its performances reach an acceptable level. At the moment, there are a number of issues such as the weight and the volume of fuel cells, as well as their relatively short lifetime and their expensiveness which need to be solved. However, the environmental benefits of fuel cells are likely to increase among the aviation actors especially if aviation is to be included in an EU emissions trading scheme.

  • The Historical Fuel Efficiency Characteristics of Regional Aircraft from Technological, Operational, and Cost Perspectives
    The Historical Fuel Efficiency Characteristics of Regional Aircraft from Technological, Operational, and Cost Perspectives Raffi Babikian, Stephen P. Lukachko and Ian A. Waitz* Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139 ABSTRACT To develop approaches that effectively reduce aircraft emissions, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms that have enabled historical improvements in aircraft efficiency. This paper focuses on the impact of regional aircraft on the U.S. aviation system and examines the technological, operational and cost characteristics of turboprop and regional jet aircraft. Regional aircraft are 40% to 60% less fuel efficient than their larger narrow- and wide-body counterparts, while regional jets are 10% to 60% less fuel efficient than turboprops. Fuel efficiency differences can be explained largely by differences in aircraft operations, not technology. Direct operating costs per revenue passenger kilometer are 2.5 to 6 times higher for regional aircraft because they operate at lower load factors and perform fewer miles over which to spread fixed costs. Further, despite incurring higher fuel costs, regional jets are shown to have operating costs similar to turboprops when flown over comparable stage lengths. Keywords: Regional aircraft, environment, regional jet, turboprop 1. INTRODUCTION The rapid growth of worldwide air travel has prompted concern about the influence of aviation activities on the environment. Demand for air travel has grown at an average rate of 9.0% per year since 1960 and at approximately 4.5% per year over the last decade (IPCC, 1999; FAA, 2000a). Barring any serious economic downturn or significant policy changes, various * Contact author: 617-253-0218 (phone), 617-258-6093 (fax), [email protected] (email) 1 organizations have estimated future worldwide growth will average 5% annually through at least 2015 (IPCC, 1999; Boeing, 2000; Airbus, 2000).

  • 2. Afterburners
    2. AFTERBURNERS 2.1 Introduction The simple gas turbine cycle can be designed to have good performance characteristics at a particular operating or design point. However, a particu­ lar engine does not have the capability of producing a good performance for large ranges of thrust, an inflexibility that can lead to problems when the flight program for a particular vehicle is considered. For example, many airplanes require a larger thrust during takeoff and acceleration than they do at a cruise condition. Thus, if the engine is sized for takeoff and has its design point at this condition, the engine will be too large at cruise. The vehicle performance will be penalized at cruise for the poor off-design point operation of the engine components and for the larger weight of the engine. Similar problems arise when supersonic cruise vehicles are considered. The afterburning gas turbine cycle was an early attempt to avoid some of these problems. Afterburners or augmentation devices were first added to aircraft gas turbine engines to increase their thrust during takeoff or brief periods of acceleration and supersonic flight. The devices make use of the fact that, in a gas turbine engine, the maximum gas temperature at the turbine inlet is limited by structural considerations to values less than half the adiabatic flame temperature at the stoichiometric fuel-air ratio. As a result, the gas leaving the turbine contains most of its original concentration of oxygen. This oxygen can be burned with additional fuel in a secondary combustion chamber located downstream of the turbine where temperature constraints are relaxed.

  • Jet Fuel: from Well to Wing
    Jet Fuel: From Well to Wing JANUARY 2018 Abstract Airlines for America (A4A) is the nation’s oldest and largest U.S. airline industry trade association. Its members1 and their affiliates account for more than 70 percent of the passenger and cargo traffic carried by U.S. airlines. According to the Energy Information Administration, U.S.-based jet fuel demand averaged 1.6 million barrels per day in 2016. Generally, fuel is supplied to airports through a combination of interstate multiproduct pipelines, third-party and off-airport terminals, and dedicated local pipelines. The last few years have continued to demonstrate the fragility of this complex system and the threat it poses to air-service continuity. The current interstate refined products pipeline system, constructed many decades ago, is both capacity-constrained and vulnerable to disruptions that typically require a patchwork of costly, inadequate fixes. New shippers have difficulty obtaining line space and long-established shippers have difficulty shipping all of their requirements. It is likely that demand will continue to outpace the capacity of our outdated distribution system for liquid fuels. Given the increasing demand to transport liquid fuels, it is imperative that we take steps to overcome existing bottlenecks and prevent future ones. These fuels are essential to aviation, trucking and rail, among others, which help power our twenty- first century economy. As shippers and consumers of significant quantities of refined products on pipelines throughout the country, airlines and other users of liquid fuels have a substantial interest in addressing the nationwide deficiency in pipeline investment. Surely, expedited permitting for fuel distribution-related infrastructure projects could help pave the way to upgrade existing pipeline assets and expand throughput capacity into key markets.

  • Combustion and Fuels Research Talks
    .. COMBUSTION AND FUELS RESEARCH Part I - High-Output Turbojet Combustors • 'A by Wilfred E. Scull and Richard H. Donlon . " You have already seen, or will see elsewhere, a portion of the laboratory's research effort on compressors for handling higher air flows. Higher air flows through the engine are neoeaaary to obtain higher thrusts. To go with the compressors of inoreased capacities, we must also have priJ'D8.ry oombustors and afterburners which can handle higher air flows, or operate at higher velocities. ( A part of our combustion research is aimed therefore at obtaining high performance at high air velocities in the primary combustor, and it is this phase of the work that I would like to discuss now. Higa air velocities in the primary combustor result in several problems; ~ for example, stable combustion at the air velocities found in present day equipment might be analogous to keeping a matoh burning in a hurrioane. Combustion at high air velocities must occur with as high a combustion efficiency and as low pressure losses as possible. In general, combustion efficiency may be defined as the ratio of heat , . output of the combustor to the heat imput of the fuel. Pressure losses are caused by the flow resistance of the combustor liner, and changes in velocity of the air during combustion. '\ We would now like to demonstrate some results of our research to " develop combustors which can operate at high air .veloeities. The primary oombustor of the turbojet engine consists of a housing and a liner. !he liner, which is installed within the housing, shields the oombustion space from the blast of incoming air.

STS-1000, unlike the baseline engine, is a split single-spool turboshaft engine. The hot gas generator is a single spool with a single stage radial compressor, a reverse annular combustion chamber, and an uncooled single stage axial compressor turbine. The required shaft power is produced by a two stage axial power turbine on a separate spool which passes through the spool of the core engine and is intended to drive a power generator at the cold end of the engine. The air intake is of S-type and the exhaust duct has circular cross section. Compared to TPE331-10, STS-1000 has a higher turbine inlet temperature, a lower stage number for the air compressor, and requires less mass flow rate.

  • Performance Results of Using Waste Vegetable Oil Based Biodiesel Fuel in a Turboshaft Gas Turbine Engine
    1 Performance Results of Using Waste Vegetable Oil Based Biodiesel Fuel in a Turboshaft Gas Turbine Engine 2 Abstract Biodiesel is a renewable fuel product made from triglycerides with properties similar to petroleum-based fuel. It is blended with various petroleum fractions to produce automotive and transportation fuels and is not typically utilized as a standalone fuel. Biodiesel can be manufactured from various feedstock including straight vegetable oils (SVO), waste vegetable oils (WVO), and animal fats. Although most U.S. biodiesel is made from SVO, using WVO feedstock is a much cheaper option. As biodiesel fuel offers certain advantages over petroleum based fuels, the aviation industry has gradually advanced the use of the fuel in gas turbine engines. However, increased viscosity and higher cloud point can create performance issues in an aviation gas turbine engine. Testing the performance of biodiesel fuels in aviation gas turbine engines is important to further the expanded use of these fuels in the industry. Three fuels were tested as part of the study: B100 biodiesel, B11 biodiesel, and Jet-A. The B100 was manufactured as part of this study using soybean based WVO feedstock. The manufacture of this fuel is included in the methods of the paper. A Rolls Royce Allison 250-C20 turboshaft engine was operated on each of the three fuels to measure starting capability, fuel pressure, turbine rpm (%N1 & %N2), exhaust temperature, and time from initial start to max %N1. Each run was performed with an identical process and recorded to capture the data points. The fuel system was purged between fuel changes to eliminate cross-contamination.
