A nacelle for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centre line. The nacelle includes an air intake disposed at an upstream end of the nacelle. The air intake includes, in flow series, an intake lip, a throat and a diffuser. The nacelle further includes a protrusion extending radially inward from the air intake downstream of the intake lip. The protrusion extends circumferentially by a protrusion angle (θ.sub.p) with respect to the longitudinal centre line of the gas turbine engine.

A turbofan gas turbine engine includes heat exchanger module, fan assembly, compressor, turbine and exhaust modules. The fan includes a plurality of fan blades. The heat exchanger in fluid communicates with the fan assembly by an inlet duct, and the heat exchanger includes a plurality of radially-extending hollow vanes arranged in a circumferential array, with a channel extending axially between each pair of adjacent hollow vanes. An airflow entering the heat exchanger is divided between a set of vane airflows and a set of channel airflows. Each vane airflow has a vane mass flow rate Flow.sub.Vane, and each channel air flow has a channel mass flow rate Flow.sub.Chan. Each hollow vane includes, an inlet, heat transfer, and exhaust portions, with the inlet portion comprising a diffuser element and the heat transfer portion including at least one heat transfer element. The diffuser element causes Flow.sub.Vane to be lower than Flow.sub.Chan.

A centrifugal compressor includes: a compressor housing in which an intake passage is formed; a compressor impeller provided in the intake passage; an actuator that causes a rod to linearly move in a direction intersecting with a rotation axis direction of the compressor impeller; a connection member connected to the rod; a throttle member including a protruding portion; a connection shaft extending in the rotation axis direction and connecting the connection member and the throttle member; and a rotation shaft extending in a direction parallel to the connection shaft and serving as a rotation center of the throttle member.

A heat exchanger designed to be fixed to a turbomachine wall delimiting a gas flow stream, this exchanger including a body with a front face through which the gas flow passes; an attachment face to the wall; an external face opposite the attachment face and connected to the front face; two lateral faces connected to the front face; a cover surrounding the front face and extending along the prolongation of the external face and the lateral faces, to delimit an intake with an area smaller than the area of the front face, this intake being located upstream from the front face relative to the gas flow stream.

A turbine stator vane or turbine rotor vane has a body, a channel being adapted for leading a cooling fluid through the body, and a flow adaption feature protruding from the body to the channel in such a manner as to reduce a cross-sectional area of the channel.

A turbine blade is provided. The turbine blade may include: a cooling passage configured to be defined by a partition wall which partitions an internal area of the turbine blade; and an inlet passage extending from a root part of the turbine blade toward a platform part of the turbine blade and configured to supply cooling air into the cooling passage, wherein an inclined part having a diameter reduced from the root part toward the platform part is formed in the inlet passage.

An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a variable area inlet, and the variable area inlet includes an inlet structure, an inlet lip, an inlet orifice and an inlet passage extending within the variable area inlet from the inlet orifice. The inlet lip is configured to pivot about a pivot axis between a first position and a second position. The inlet orifice is formed by and between the inlet structure and the inlet lip. The inlet orifice has a first area when the inlet lip is in the first position. The inlet orifice has a second area when the inlet lip is in the second position. The second area is different than the first area.
