Claim 10:
11. A method of transient control of a thermal transport bus of a turbomachine comprising:
measuring a measured temperature and a measured pressure of a working fluid at at least one point on the thermal transport bus;
determining a selected run state of the turbomachine, wherein the selected run state is a current one of a plurality of run states in which the turbomachine is operating;
determining a desired fluid state to bring the working fluid into based on the selected run state of the turbomachine;
selecting a desired temperature range and a desired pressure range for the working fluid that correspond to the a desired fluid state;
comparing the measured temperature with the desired temperature range, and comparing the measured pressure with the desired pressure range; and
modulating thermal transport bus control handles and turbomachine control handles as a function of the comparing of the measured temperature with the desired temperature range and the comparing of the measured pressure with the desired pressure range to bring the working fluid into the desired fluid state.
