    Abstract: A heat exchanger duct includes a wall having ends spaced along a central axis. An inlet manifold is positioned within a downstream portion of the duct at a radially outward location. An outlet manifold is positioned within an upstream portion of the duct at a radially outward location. At least one of the inlet and outlet manifolds extend at least 10 degrees around the circumference of the duct. A central manifold is disposed between the inlet and outlet manifolds, and radially inwardly of the inlet and outlet manifolds. Heat exchanger entrance elements extend radially inward from the inlet manifold to the central manifold, and heat exchanger exit elements extend radially outward from the central manifold to the outlet manifold. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A cooling system for a gas turbine engine may comprise a plenum extending circumferentially around an outer engine case structure. The plenum may comprise a supply conduit and a return conduit. The supply conduit and the return conduit may be in fluid communication with a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may be disposed between the outer engine case structure and an inner engine case structure. The plenum may be configured to provide enhance heat transfer for the cooling system.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine system includes a gas turbine engine and a turbo-generator. The gas turbine engine includes a heat exchange system configured to transfer thermal energy from an air flow (i.e., inlet air flow or exhaust gas flow) to a fuel to produce a gaseous fuel. The turbo-generator includes a fuel turbine fluidly coupled to the heat exchange system and a combustor of the gas turbine engine, a fuel pump configured to be driven by the fuel turbine and fluidly coupled to the heat exchange system, and a motor/generator configured to be driven by the fuel turbine. The fuel turbine is configured to extract energy from expansion of the gaseous fuel to produce a gaseous fuel for combustion in the combustor. The motor/generator includes a cooling jacket, which is fluidly coupled to the fuel pump.
