Cold stream air to that flowing through the hot core of the engine.
The L.P. turbine is connected to the L.P. compressor, the H.P. turbine is connected to the H.P. compressor.

Increases the air mass flow and therefore increases the propulsive efficiency.

The axial velocity of the air will decrease with an increase in the angle that the resultant airflow forms with
the compressor blades chord line and a possible stall.
The angle which the relative airflow forms with the compressor blades will become too large, which will
