A vessel includes an exterior container, an interior container, and a support structure. The exterior container is formed by an exterior wall that prevents transmission of a fluid. The interior container is by an interior layer disposed within the exterior container such that the exterior container encapsulates the interior container. The interior layer and the exterior wall are separated by a gap defining a barrier void. The interior layer prevents transmission of a fluid across the interior layer. The support structure is disposed within the barrier void between the exterior wall and the interior layer. The support structure comprises a lattice and is integrally formed with the exterior wall and the interior layer. The support structure is connected to and extends between the exterior wall and the interior layer.

A vessel includes first and second portions that are non-permeable to a fluid and a third portion that is permeable to fluid. The first potion defines at least one exterior wall defining an exterior container. The second portion defines at least one interior wall defining an interior container encapsulated by the exterior container. The third portion is positioned between the at least one exterior wall and the at least one interior wall, is integrally formed with the first portion and the second portion, and has a porous structure with non-uniform connected porosity.

A core arrangement for a heat exchanger includes a first core layer. The first core layer includes first upstream and downstream ends, first and second parting sheets parallel to one another, and a plurality of adjacent fins disposed between the first and second parting sheets. Each of the plurality of fins extends from a surface of the first parting sheet to a surface of the second parting sheet, and longitudinally between the first upstream end and the first downstream end. The plurality of fins are further laterally arranged to define a plurality of first fluid passages. Each of a subset of the plurality of fins includes an internal slot positioned away from the first upstream end and the first downstream end.

A wash-flow filter assembly is provided. The filter assembly includes a filtering device that includes a tube. At least one wash-flow passage is defined outside the filtering device and through which fluid passes as primary burn flow. A portion of the primary burn flow is configured to enter the tube from the passage as washed flow. A primary barrier acts as a filtering medium to catch contaminants within and, thereby, filter the contaminants out of the primary burn flow as it reaches the filtering device. A secondary barrier is positioned inside the filtering device, behind the primary barrier, and adjacent to the tube and configured to entrap contaminants that enter the filtering device through the primary barrier. The washed flow is configured to exit the tube as filtered fuel and be carried away out the filtering device. A fuel system is provided also that includes the wash-flow filter.

A method of metering fuel with a fuel valve. The method includes arranging a spool within to a sleeve along an axis, wherein the spool includes four seal lands. The sleeve includes a fuel inlet aperture, a fuel outlet aperture, and a shutoff port. A first cavity and a second cavity are defined between the spool, the sleeve, and subsets of the seal lands. The fuel inlet port and the fuel outlet port abut one such cavity. Sliding the spool along the axis results in the fuel outlet aperture extending longitudinally beyond the second seal land in the upstream direction.
