An example engine includes at least one of a compressor or a pump; a casing for at least one of the pump or the compressor, the casing including a conduit formed in a wall of the casing, the conduit to define a recirculation flow path for a fluid at least partially within the wall of the casing; a valve positioned at an inlet to the recirculation flow path; and an actuator operatively connected to the valve and configured to adjust a position of the valve among at least one of open, partially open, or closed, the valve to allow passage of at least a portion of the fluid when at least one of open or partially open.
