"THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF NEXT-GENERATION AIRCRAFT THROUGH WASTE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS" Commercial aviation plays a big role in greenhouse emissions, almost 2.5 % of human-induced CO2 emissions are the fault of the aviation industry. Fuel cells are the most promising power sources to reduce emissions to zero in commercial aviation, several companies are betting on investigating this possibility. Especially, PEMFC has become one of the most appealing alternative power sources due to its unique characteristics for automotive applications. However, half of the power is lost in terms of heat, so the development of WHRS is booming. The main objective of this project is the study and implementation of different WHRS to enhance PEMFC power efficiency. Show less
