The turbine nozzles function to direct the gases in what direction?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — In the direction of turbine rotation
Turbine nozzles are aerodynamically shaped to direct combustion gases at a specific angle relative to the turbine rotor blades. By directing the flow in the direction of rotation, the nozzles ensure the gas stream strikes the rotor blades at the optimal angle to maximize torque production.
