Abstract
In a jet engine having a core that sources a first flow of fluid and a component (such as a fan, a pump, and/or a bleed line) that sources a second flow of fluid, and where the first flow of fluid will typically have, at least during ordinary operation, a higher temperature than the second flow of fluid, at least one flow aperture formed by a first passageway to receive at least a portion of the aforementioned second flow of fluid, wherein that first passageway is comprised of at least one material that (by design and intent) deflects as a function of temperature such that a flow of the second flow of fluid through the at least one flow aperture is thereby desirably modulated.
