Abstract
A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in a serial flow arrangement; and an air-to-air heat exchanger having an air-to-air heat exchanger potential defined by a product raised to a half power, the product being an effectiveness associated with the air-to-air heat exchanger multiplied by an airflow conductance factor associated with the gas turbine engine, and wherein the air-to-air heat exchanger potential is between 0.028 and 0.067 for a bypass ratio associated with the gas turbine engine between 3 and 10 and the effectiveness being between 0.5 and 0.9 and is between 0.015 and 0.038 for a bypass ratio associated with the gas turbine engine between 10 and 20 and the effectiveness being between 0.3 and 0.9.
