Turbine-outlet radial temperature distributions of an XJ34-WE-32 turbojet engine were investigated in the altitude wind tunnel at the NACA Lewis laboratory over a range of pressure altitudes, engine-inlet air temperatures and flight Mach numbers at or near rated engine conditions. From blade stress considerations, the turbine-outlet temperature distribution was considered satisfactory at altitudes up to 25,000 feet at corrected engine speeds corresponding to rated speed (12,500 rpm); however, operation at either higher corrected engine speeds or higher altitudes resulted in an inversion of the turbine temperature distribution that was detrimental to turbine life. Installation of a compressor-outlet mixer greatly improved the turbine radial temperature distribution.
