System, transition conduit, and article of manufacture for transitioning a fluid flow

A fluid transfer system for an engine, comprising:

• a first turbine having an exit for discharging a main fluid flow;
• a second turbine having an inlet for receiving at least a portion of the main fluid flow;
• a main conduit fluidically coupling the exit of the first turbine to the inlet of the second turbine, the main conduit configured to carry the main fluid flow along an axis between the first turbine and the second turbine;
• and
• a funnel fluidically coupled to the main conduit and located between the exit of the first turbine and the inlet of the second turbine, the funnel curving around the main conduit;
• the funnel having a slot that opens into an interior of the main conduit, the slot defined at least in part by a lip, the slot establishing a path for a secondary fluid flow to enter the main conduit upstream of the second turbine, wherein the funnel is a first funnel that is configured to transfer the secondary fluid flow in a first direction, further comprising a second funnel located adjacent to the first funnel, the second funnel curving around the main conduit and configured to transfer the secondary fluid flow in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
• the second funnel having a second slot that opens into the interior of the main conduit, the second slot defined at least in part by a second lip, the second slot establishing a second path for the secondary fluid flow to enter a fluid carrier upstream of the second turbine.
