    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a rotor section proximate to a combustor section, where the rotor section is subject to bowing effects due to thermal differences and heat transfer at engine shutdown. The gas turbine engine also includes a heat pipe system. The heat pipe system includes one or more heat pipes installed between an upper portion of the rotor section and a lower portion of the rotor section. The heat pipe system is operable to accept heat at a hot side of the heat pipe system at the upper portion, flow heat from the hot side to a cold side of the heat pipe system, and reject heat from the cold side of the heat pipe system at the lower portion to reduce a thermal differential between the upper portion and the lower portion at engine shutdown.

    Abstract: Components for gas turbine engines having a hot side surface, a cold side surface, the cold side surface receiving cooling impingement at one or more cold locations, and at least one thermal transfer feature located between the hot side surface and the cold side surface within the component and arranged such that a condenser section of the thermal transfer feature is located proximate at least one of the cold locations and an evaporator section of the thermal transfer feature is located away from the cold location.
