Abstract:
A turbine engine includes a turbine section with a low pressure turbine and a turbine case disposed about an axis. A frame assembly defines an outer cavity and an inner cavity with the outer cavity including at least one opening configured and adapted to communicate cooling air to the turbine case. A transfer tube is disposed within the outer cavity and is configured and adapted to receive cooling air. The transfer tube includes a bend configured to impart circumferential velocity to the cooling air within the outer cavity.
