A centrifugal compressor includes a shaft defining an axis, an impeller mounted to the shaft for rotation about the axis, and a diffuser section including a first wall, a second wall, and an opening defined between the first wall and the second wall. The opening of the diffuser section is arranged in fluid communication with the impeller. The first wall is rotatable about the axis and rotation of the first wall about the axis is mechanically driven.

A gas distribution plate for a chemical vapor deposition/infiltration system includes a body having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The body may be hollow and may define an internal cavity. The gas distribution plate may also include a plurality of pass-through tubes extending through the internal cavity, a cavity inlet, and a plurality of cavity outlets. A reaction gas may be configured to flow through the plurality of pass-through tubes and a gaseous mitigation agent may be configured to flow into the internal cavity via the cavity inlet and out of the internal cavity via the plurality of cavity outlets to mix with reaction gas.
