Torque probe cooling for gas turbine engine using internal fluid flow

Cooling a torque probe involves an elongated sleeve extending along a sleeve axis between a first sleeve end and a second sleeve end. The sleeve is mountable about the torque probe to define a flow passage between an inner surface of the sleeve and an outer surface of the torque probe. The flow passage is in fluid communication with a flow passage inlet of the sleeve and with a flow passage outlet of the sleeve spaced apart along the sleeve axis from the flow passage inlet. A cooling fluid is configured to flow into the flow passage via the flow passage inlet, through the flow passage along the outer surface of the torque probe to cool the torque probe, and out of the flow passage via the flow passage outlet.
