Abstract
A turbine engine incorporating a fine particle separation means. The turbine engine includes: a compressor, a diffuser, and a flow path positioned downstream from the diffuser, wherein the flow path comprises an outer annular wall and an inner annular wall between which the compressed air flows, and wherein the flow path comprises an arc that redirects the compressed air from flowing in a substantially radial flow direction to a substantially axial flow direction. The turbine engine further includes an extraction slot in the outer annular wall that fluidly connects with a scavenge plenum, the extraction slot also being positioned downstream axially along the flow path from the arc. The turbine engine further includes an aspiration slot, downstream from the extraction slot, that allows air from the plenum to recirculate back into the flow path.
