A gas turbine engine article includes a baffle that is configured to be mounted in a cavity of a gas turbine engine component. The baffle has a baffle wall that circumscribes an open interior region. The baffle wall includes a forward wall, side walls, and an aft wall. The side walls include impingement orifices, and the aft wall defines two datum features. At least one of the datum features is a dimple that is a portion of a sphere.

Device and methods for guiding bleed air in a turbofan gas turbine engine are disclosed. The devices provided include louvers and baffles that guide bleed air toward a bypass duct of the turbofan engine. The louvers and baffles have a geometric configuration that promotes desirable flow conditions and reduced energy loss.

A gas turbine engine assembly includes a core engine that includes a core flow path where a core airflow is compressed in a compressor section, communicated to a combustor section, mixed with fuel and ignited to generate a high energy combusted gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section, a first tap at a location up stream of the combustor section for communicating a portion of the core airflow as a bleed airflow downstream of the combustor section, a heat exchanger that places the bleed airflow that is communicated from the first tap in thermal communication with the high energy combusted gas flow downstream of the combustor section, and a power turbine that is configured to generate shaft power from expansion of the heated bleed airflow, the power turbine includes an inlet that is configured to receive the heated bleed airflow from the heat exchanger.

A turbine assembly in a turbine section of an aircraft engine includes a rotor with blades having blade tips, and a turbine housing radially surrounding the blades. A distance between an inner surface of the housing and the blade tips defines a tip clearance gap. A passive cooling system for optimizing the tip clearance gap includes a cooling airflow passage located radially outward from, and in heat-transfer with, the turbine housing. The cooling airflow passage has an inlet opening located upstream of the rotor and an exit opening located downstream of the rotor. The inlet opening provides air flow into the cooling airflow passage. The exit opening provides air flow communication between the cooling airflow passage and a main gaspath of the turbine section. A flow of cooling air through the cooling airflow passage is induced, to cool the housing.
