    Abstract: A gas turbine engine hybrid outer guide vane heat exchanger includes a circular row of fan outlet guide vanes, at least some of the fan outlet guide vanes being networked guide vane heat exchangers including heat exchangers within fan outlet guide vanes and guide vane heat exchangers fluidly interconnected both in series and in parallel. Group may include three or more of the guide vane heat exchangers fluidly connected both in series and in parallel. Two or more serial sets of the networked guide vane heat exchangers in the hybrid group may each include two or more of guide vane heat exchangers connected in series and two or more serial sets connected in parallel. First and second groups of the networked guide vane heat exchangers may include first and second groups for cooling engine lubrication system and/or integrated drive generator.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to additive manufacturing or printing of an object using parallel processing of files comprising 3D models of the object and/or portions thereof. A master file comprising a 3D model of the object is divided into subordinate files, wherein each subordinate file comprises a 3D model of a corresponding portion of the object. Each subordinate file is processed in parallel, controlling at least a first laser source to fabricate each portion from a build material. Parallel processing according to the methods of the present disclosure expedites additive manufacturing or printing over conventional methods that build an object in layers completed in series.

    Abstract: A fluid cooling system for use in a gas turbine engine including a fan casing circumscribing a core gas turbine engine includes a heat source configured to transfer heat to a heat transfer fluid and a primary heat exchanger coupled in flow communication with the heat source. The primary heat exchanger is configured to channel the heat transfer fluid therethrough and is coupled to the fan casing. The fluid cooling system also includes a secondary heat exchanger coupled in flow communication with the primary heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger is configured to channel the heat transfer fluid therethrough and is coupled to the core gas turbine engine. The fluid cooling system also includes a bypass mechanism coupled in flow communication with the secondary heat exchanger. The bypass mechanism is selectively moveable based on a temperature of a fluid medium to control a cooling airflow through the secondary heat exchanger.
