Abstract

An aircraft propulsion system (20) includes a core engine (25), a propulsive fan, and a bottoming cycle (62) that includes a working fluid mixture (76) within a closed circuit (74) that is heated and expanded through a bottom turbine (78) to generate shaft power (66). The working fluid mixture (76) includes a proportion of at least two fluids (104,106) having different properties that is adjustable to change a capability of the working fluid mixture (76) at different bottoming cycle operating points. The bottoming cycle (62) includes a reactor assembly (96) configured to generate a reaction with one of the at least two fluids (104,106) for adjusting the proportion of the at least two fluids (104,106) of the working fluid mixture (76).
