Abstract
A turbomachine for an aircraft comprising a thermo-acoustic system associated with a fluid circuit allowing the turbomachine engine to be supplied with fluid, the thermo-acoustic system comprising an exchanger connected to the fluid circuit and through which the fluid that is to be cooled passes, an acoustic noise-attenuation structure forming, in full or in part, a wall of the duct of a fan duct, the structure being situated some distance from the exchanger, and a pulsating heat pipe comprising a tube extending between the exchanger and the acoustic noise-attenuation structure, the tube having a serpentine form with a plurality of elbows bent over at 180° housed alternately in the exchanger and the structure.
