An axial turbomachine includes a first separation nozzle capable of separating an incoming air flow into a radially internal air flow and a radially external air flow, called a secondary flow; a second separation nozzle capable of separating the radially internal air flow into a primary flow and a tertiary flow, the tertiary flow being in a tertiary flow vein radially external to the primary flow, delimited by an internal wall and an external wall; and an air/oil type heat exchanger, disposed in the tertiary flow vein. The heat exchanger includes several angular sectors, each angular sector including an oil inlet on the internal wall at an angular end of the sector, and an oil outlet on the internal wall at an opposite angular end of the sector.

Triple-flow axial turbomachine comprising a diverging heat exchanger in the third flow

An axial turbomachine including a first separation nozzle capable of separating an incoming air flow into a radially internal air flow and a radially external air flow, called secondary flow; a second separation nozzle capable of separating the radially internal air flow into a primary f flow and a tertiary flow, said tertiary flow being in a tertiary flow vein radially external to said flow primary; and an air/oil type heat exchanger disposed in the tertiary flow stream and including heat exchange surfaces with air and oil passages extending in said tertiary flow stream; and structural arms extending radially through the tertiary flow vein. Each structural arm has in the tertiary flow vein a cross section with a downstream portion having a width decreasing towards the downstream, the heat exchanger being adjacent to said downstream portions of the structural arms.

A matrix for exchanging heat between a first fluid and a second fluid, in particular for an air-oil application in a turbine engine, includes an envelope defining a flow path of the first fluid and a network extending into the flow path and in which the second fluid flows. Along the axis defined by the curvature of the matrix, the dimensions of the envelope vary circumferentially (T(A)) and radially (R(A)). The matrix may be used with a heat exchanger.
