Claim 11:
12. A component for a turbine engine, comprising:
an airfoil body with an outer wall bounding an interior and extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a chord-wise direction, and also extending between a root and a tip to define a span-wise direction;
a first cooling passage having at least a portion supplying cooling air to the interior of the airfoil body;
a second cooling passage having at least a portion supplying cooling air to the interior of the airfoil body and fluidly separated from the first cooling passage;
a scavenge passage; and
a cyclone separator having a cooling air inlet, a clean air outlet fluidly coupled to the second cooling passage, and a dirty air outlet fluidly coupled to the scavenge passage, wherein the dirty air outlet is fluidly separated from the interior of the airfoil body.
