Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan located at a forward portion of the gas turbine engine. A compressor section and a turbine section are arranged in serial flow order. The compressor section and the turbine section together define a core airflow path. A rotary member is rotatable with at least a portion of the compressor section and with at least a portion of the turbine section. An electrical machine is coupled to the rotary member and is located at least partially inward of the core airflow path in a radial direction. An enclosure at least partially encloses the electrical machine. The enclosure at least partially defines a first cooling airflow path within the enclosure that at least partially defines a first cooling airflow buffer cavity at least partially around the electrical machine. The first cooling airflow path is in communication with a second cooling airflow path located outside the enclosure that at least partially defines a second cooling airflow buffer cavity at least partially around the enclosure. A cooling duct provides pressurized air to the first cooling airflow path such that the air flows along both the first cooling airflow path and the second cooling airflow path providing the first cooling airflow buffer cavity and the second cooling airflow buffer cavity.

Abstract: A turbomachine defining a flowpath therethrough at which a fluid is compressed is provided, in which the turbomachine includes a first compressor in serial flow arrangement upstream of a second compressor. The second compressor includes a port at the flowpath and is configured to receive at least a portion of the fluid from the flowpath from the second compressor. The first compressor includes a vane positioned at the flowpath and the vane includes an opening at the flowpath configured to egress the portion of the fluid from the port into the flowpath.

Abstract: A method of removing heat from an electrical machine located in a gas turbine engine at least partially inward of a core airflow path in a radial direction, the electrical machine comprising an outer electrical machine stator and an inner electrical machine rotor is provided. The method includes directing a liquid coolant radially inward past the outer electrical machine stator and toward an inner electrical machine rotor using a coolant passageway. The liquid coolant is directed onto and/or through one or both of the inner electrical machine rotor and a rotor support thereby removing heat from the inner electrical machine rotor.

Abstract: An electrical machine includes a stator assembly coupled to an engine stator component of a propulsion engine. The stator assembly includes a stator support assembly fixedly attached to the engine stator component and a stator disposed on a supporting surface of the stator support structure. The electrical machine also includes a rotor assembly including a rotor support structure connected to a shaft of the propulsion engine and a rotor attached to the rotor support structure such that the rotor is disposed radially inward of the stator. The rotor exchanges rotational energy with the shaft to operate as either an electrical motor or an electrical generator.
