Detail of the inlet of one of the turbine exhaust lines.

After spinning the turbine discs, hot gas from the combustion flask is simply vented to the area inside the turbine bulkhead, where it transfers some heat via the preheater. The exhaust gas is then routed through the turbine exhaust lines via these inlets, where it exits the torpedo through the tail section.
