ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for dumping surge bleed air into a primary nozzle of a free gas turbine engine. The surge bleed air is introduced into gas turbine exhaust flow within the primary nozzle to create a mixed flow which may be used as a combined driver flow to compensate for reduced engine exhaust flow during periods when operation of the turbine engine may be exclusively dedicated to only electric load operation. The surge bleed air may not be the educted flow or the secondary driven flow, while cooling air passing through an oil cooler may be an educted flow. Surge bleed air may flow through, for example, mixer lobes, hollow struts, or the center body before mixing with the gas turbine exhaust flow.
