Which section experiences the highest velocity?
•The exhaust
What does the turbine section provide?
•Rotation to the compressor and accessory section drive
Turbine engine are best at high rpm and high airspeed
What is the purpose of a diffuser?
•The divergent duct shape converts most of the air’s velocity into static pressure.
