Abstract
A method of mixing airflow within an inner diameter (ID) mixing chamber of a turbine exhaust case (TEC) includes directing pressurized airflow into the ID mixing chamber. Cooling airflow is directed radially inward via a tube and is then expelled into the ID mixing chamber in a circumferential direction for mixing with the pressurized airflow.
