Abstract

See full text

Various embodiments of the present disclosure address problems associated with non-uniform flow of cooling air by providing a turbine engine including a cooling air chamber in fluid communication with a cooling air source, a turbine chamber, and multiple conduits fluidly connecting the cooling air chamber and the turbine chamber. The system is configured such that, when cooling air is flowing from a cooling air source the static pressure within the cooling fluid chamber is substantially uniform and such that the mass flow rates of cooling air through the conduits and into the turbine chamber are substantially uniform.
