Abstract
A cooling apparatus for cooling a fluid in a bypass gas turbine engine comprises a heat exchanger disposed within a bypass duct and accommodated by a sub-passage defined by a flow divider affixed to an annular wall of the bypass duct. The sub-passage defines an open upstream end and an open downstream end to direct a portion of the bypass air flow to pass therethrough.
