    Abstract: An oscillating heat pipe of a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of channels that define a continuous loop through which a fluid flows, and an evaporator of a gas turbine engine. The fluid flows through the evaporator to accept heat from a first fluid. The first fluid is located near or in an engine core. The oscillating heat pipe also includes condenser of the gas turbine engine. The fluid flows through the condenser to reject heat to a second fluid, and the second fluid is located outwardly of the engine core.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a main compressor section, a combustor, and a main turbine section. A fuel pump delivers fuel to the combustor. A tap taps air compressed by the main compressor section, and is connected for delivering the tapped air through a first heat exchanger and to a boost compressor. Air downstream of the boost compressor is connected to cool a component. Driving compressed air is connected to be delivered to a power turbine. The power turbine is connected to drive both the boost compressor and the fuel pump.

    Abstract: A fuel system for a gas turbine engine includes a first electric motor, a main fuel pump driven by the first electric motor to provide a fuel flow, and an actuator operable by a second electric motor. A first motor controller governs operation of the first electric motor. A second motor controller governs operation of the second electric motor. The second motor controller is operable to control operation of the first electric motor in response the first motor controller being incapable of governing operation of the first electric motor.
