Abstract
In a turbine for a compressible fluid in which the fluid flow leaving the tepenultimate stage is separated into two coaxial flows, the inner flow passes through both the penultimate and the final stages of the turbine while the outer flow passes through the final stage only. This high efficiency arrangement for the last stages of a high power turbine exploits the advantages made available by using titanium as the blade material.
