Abstract
A turbomachine comprising at least one Stirling cycle thermal engine which is mounted at the end of a radial arm of the exhaust casing and comprises a working chamber located outside the primary and secondary flows, a displacing piston associated with a moving element of an energy generation system, and two exchangers, heating and cooling, formed in parts of the radial arm respectively intercepting the primary flow and the secondary flow, these two exchangers communicating with each other and with the working chamber for the circulation of a working fluid.
