Abstract
A bleed arrangement for a turbomachine that results in uniform flow to the combustor. A turbomachine includes a compressor, a combustor disposed to receive the compressed air from the compressor through a flow path, and a diffuser disposed in the flow path between the compressor and the combustor. A number of bleed holes are disposed downstream in the flow path from the diffuser and are configured to direct bleed air compressed by the compressor away from the combustor. The number of bleed holes have a plural number of sizes configured to provide uniform compressor exit flow distribution around a circumference of the diffuser.
