    Abstract: A turbine casing may comprise a casing body and a first heat pipe disposed in the casing body. The first heat pipe may comprise a first working medium. The first heat pipe may include a first vaporization section and a first condensation section. The first vaporization section may be located forward the first condensation section. A second heat pipe may be disposed in the casing body and may comprise a second working medium different from the first working medium.

    Abstract: An airfoil may comprise an airfoil body having a leading edge and a trailing edge. A heat pipe may be disposed within the airfoil. The heat pipe may include a vaporization section and a condensation section. The vaporization section may be disposed within the airfoil body and may be configured to remove heat from the trailing edge. The second cooling apparatus may be disposed within the airfoil body and may be configured to remove heat from the leading edge.
