Default RE: Does a turbine run better with inlet ducting

No offense to you or Eddie, Matt. But I'm taking that with a grain of salt because to me it makes no sense at all. Just......none. Without a thermo/fluid dynamics background all I have to stand on is instinct tho. Seems to me that unless you're up against an rpm limit reducing the EGT will enable a higher ff (fuel flow) until the limit is again reached. And when RPM is the limit, consricting the exhaust will raise the thrust and EGT to the even as the ff remains constant.

Perhaps someone with an education in the matter can weigh in and clarify
