DRIVE
November 20, 2024
An ejector assembly (400; 500) for a cooling system (300; 600) of a gas turbine engine (110) may comprise: a tail cone (122; 410; 510) having a tail cone outlet (414; 518) in fluid communication with a cooling air flow of the cooling system; an ejector body (420; 520) defining a mixing section (404; 504), a constant area section (406; 506), and a diffuser section (408; 508); and a nozzle section (402; 502) in fluid communication with an exhaust air flow of the gas turbine engine, the ejector assembly configured to entrain the cooling air flow via the exhaust air flow.
