    Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed a gas turbine engine including a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine in a serial flow arrangement. The compressor includes a casing having an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall defines a passageway for airflow through the compressor. The casing defines a bleed cavity between the inner wall and the outer wall. The inner wall has an opening. The casing defining a channel between the opening and the bleed cavity to direct airflow into the bleed cavity. The channel is defined by a first wall and a second wall of the casing. The second wall being downstream of the first wall. A surface of the first wall has a pattern to reduce flow separation in the channel.

    Abstract: A method of heating a hollow structure and a heating system are provided. The system includes a plurality of hollow structures spaced circumferentially about an annular flow path. The hollow structures include a heating fluid inlet port, a first plurality of film heating apertures, and a second plurality of film heating apertures. The hollow structures also include a first internal passage extending between the heating fluid inlet port and the first plurality of film heating apertures. The first internal passage includes an impingement leg configured to channel a first flow of heating fluid to a leading edge of the hollow structure. A second internal passage extends between the heating fluid inlet port and the second plurality of film heating apertures through a path along an inner surface of the hollow structure before being channeled to the second plurality of film heating apertures.
