ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for control of an integrated combined cycle Brayton-Rankine engine is disclosed. The engine has a combustor and main power turbine operating on the Brayton cycle. Combustion air is supplied by a compressor independently driven by a Rankine vapor turbine. The closed loop Rankine cycle derives its heat energy from the exhaust of the Brayton turbine. Engine speed and power level are controlled by varying the fuel flow to the combustor and by throttling the air flow to the compressor.
