摘要:
Modifying existing commercial jet engine technology to leverage the temperature and pressure available in the combustion of kerosene A-1 jet fuel (or other fuels) to include the Haber process (or other industrial processes requiring high temperatures and high pressures) presents possibilities for the creation of ammonia and other down-stream compounds suitable for atmospheric seeding of reflective or absorptive compounds. Compounds such as ammonia and urea (or other compounds—as time goes on) provide alternatives to high-altitude (20 km) seeding of sulfur dioxide (which is destructive to atmosphere, vegetation, and ozone alike). Additionally, the changes required to existing engine technology analogous to adding a catalytic converter to the exhaust system of a car, provide, through the leveraging of the strong chemical bond of atmospheric nitrogen (N2), additional overall energy output to the engine system (through heat) and the production of a potentially combustible liquid or gas (ammonia and downstream ammonia compounds or other compounds) which may be used as a downstream fuel source by the engine itself.
权利要求:
Claims
An aircraft engine modification consisting of a ring of structures containing Haber Processes surrounding and lying longitudinally along the high pressure and high temperature area of an aircraft engine consisting of two cooperating pathways: Pathway A (particulate dispersion), wherein
a) an initial Haber Process would lead to
b) a higher temperature, higher pressure, higher efficiency
Haber Process sitting above it with
c) both Haber processes leading to,
d) an ammonia bypass chamber,
e) a Urea production chamber (CO2 + NH3),
f) a Urea distillation chamber and flash drum and/or
vacuum evaporator and
g) a miniature Prilling tower where various sections
could be combined or repurposed for the different steps in the
Urea production process, and where the entire pathway would
produce a mixture of Ammonia and Urea which can be ejected
into the aircraft engine contrail, and
Pathway B (thrust) which would be identical to Pathway A except instead of structures dedicated to Urea production there would be
h) an ammonia combustion chamber,
i) a nitrous oxide creation chamber which could either be ported directly into
j) the main combustion area of the engine via nozzles or
k) into a secondary (Jet A, ammonia/methane mix, or other
fuels) combustion chamber which produces thrust.
