Original Abstract Submitted

In some examples, a cooling system defines a first flow path for a first gas stream and a second flow path for a second gas stream. The cooling system is configured to merge the first gas stream and the second gas stream to produce a mixed gas stream and provide the mixed gas stream to cool a brake assembly of a wheel. Control circuitry is configured to adjust a flow rate of the second gas stream based on a pressure and/or other flow parameter of the first gas stream. In examples, the control circuitry is configured to initiate and/or substantially cease cooling to the brake assembly based on a temperature signal indicative of a temperature of the brake assembly.
