Abstract: A gas turbine engine thermal management system. In one form an atomized cooling agent is delivered into a non primary gas flow path. A portion of compressor bleed air is passed into the non primary gas flow path. The compressor bleed air and atomized cooling agent function to cool components within the engine.

Abstract: A method for controlling the first torsional node line position in a rotatable blade of a turbomachine to improve its flutter stability including the steps of forming a first monolithic blade having a desired airfoil shape with convex and concave side walls; arranging several of the monolithic blades in a cascade array and subjecting the cascade array to an unsteady, supersonic, transonic and subsonic flow condition thereacross and thereafter determining the unsteady surface pressures acting on the monolithic blades; independently determining the first torsional mode vibration node line of each of the monolithic blades and comparing the resultant unsteady pressure force on the monolithic blades and its relationship to the first torsional mode vibration node line to determine whether or not the monolithic blade is absorbing or adding energy to the air flow thereacross; thereafter forming a plurality of first and thereafter modified composite blades by adding dissimilar material to the blade shape of a monolith
