🔍 Key Concepts

• GE LM2500 airflow path (from compressor → diffuser/distributor → combustor → turbine) • Function of a diffuser in gas turbines (what it does to velocity and pressure) • Why uniform flow is important just before certain major components

💭 Think About

• Think about where, in the engine flow path, the diffuser and distributor are located relative to the compressor, combustor, and turbine. • Ask yourself: what happens to the high‑velocity air leaving the compressor, and which component needs that air to be evenly distributed for stable operation? • Consider which engine stage would be most sensitive to uneven or turbulent airflow: the compressor inlet, the combustor, or the turbine?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the physical location of the diffuser and distributor in a typical LM2500 schematic. • Check what a diffuser is designed to do to the air’s velocity and pressure and why that matters right before the next component. • Confirm which component (compressor, combustor, or turbine) directly receives air from the diffuser/distributor in the LM2500 flow sequence.
