Title: Heating assemblies, heat exchange assemblies, methods for providing and/or exchanging heat, turbine combustion engines, and methods for powering turbine combustion engines

Abstract

Heat exchanger assemblies and methods for providing heat exchange as well as methods providing specific energy to predetermined materials within an assembly as well as gas turbine engines as well as methods of powering same are provided. Heating assemblies are provided that can include: a heat-sinking substrate; and a selective emitter layer in thermal communication with the substrate. These assemblies can be provided as part of heat exchanger assemblies. Methods for providing heat to a fluid are also provided that can include heating a layer upon a substrate to provide photons of a predetermined wavelength to a fluid from the layer.Turbine combustion engines are also provided that can include a turbine having at least a portion of the blades in the hot section of the turbine coated with an emissivity layer in thermal communication with the turbine blade. Methods for powering turbine combustion engines are also provided.
