Gas Turbine Lobed Mixer

A Lobed mixer is a vital component in Turbofan Engines, optimizing internal flow mixing by blending the jet engine core flow with the internal bypass flow. This process equalizes disparate velocity levels, decreases peak velocities from the core, enhances lower bypass flow speeds and lowers noise. As a result, it improves spatial uniformity of velocity and temperature profiles in hot core and cold bypass sections, leading to possible fuel consumption reductions and thrust gains.
