An aircraft propulsion system includes an energy conversion device that uses a cryogenic fuel and air to generate power and thermal energy, and a bottoming cycle where a working fluid is circulated within a closed circuit that includes a bottoming compressor section and a bottoming turbine section. A primary heat exchanger provides thermal communication of thermal energy from the energy conversion device to the working fluid of the bottoming cycle. A second heat exchanger is in thermal communication with the working fluid and a heat source other than from the energy conversion device for changing a temperature of the working fluid flow.
