Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
Field: Engines, pumps, turbines (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  F | IPC F  G

Claim 5:
6. A system for active flow control, comprising:
a plurality of fluid destinations that include:
an actuation system connected downstream of a fluid source by a first flow control device;
a combustor of an engine connected downstream of the fluid source by a second flow control device; and
a bypass return flow system connected downstream of the fluid source by a third flow control device;

computer readable instructions configured to cause a control module to control actuators operatively connected to the flow control devices to adjust flow areas of the flow control devices while fluid is provided from the fluid source to the fluid destinations through the flow control devices,
wherein the computer readable instructions are configured to cause the control module to control the flow area of the flow control device with fluid provided from the fluid source flowing to the actuation system through the first flow control device, to the combustor through the second flow control device, and to the bypass return flow system through the third flow control device.
