Abstract
An arrangement () for conveying combustion gas from a plurality of can annular combustors to a turbine first stage blade section of a gas turbine engine, the arrangement () including a plurality of interconnected integrated exit piece (IEP) sections () defining an annular chamber () oriented concentric to a gas turbine engine longitudinal axis () upstream of the turbine first stage blade section. Each respective IEP () includes a first flow path section () receiving and fully bounding a first flow from a respective can annular combustor along a respective common axis () there between, and delivering a partially bounded first flow to a downstream adjacent IEP section (). Each respective IEP further includes a second flow path section () receiving a partially bounded second flow from an upstream adjacent IEP () and delivering at least part of the second flow to the turbine first stage blade section.
