Abstract
Unequal flow rates of dilution air about an annular combustor and the resulting hot spots and thermal stresses are avoided in a structure wherein a vane assembly (66) made up of ring (76) and integral vanes (76) is mounted to the rear turbine shroud (42) for limited movement with respect thereto sufficient to accommodate unequal thermal growth of the rear turbine shroud (42) and the vane assembly (66).
