Abstract: A diffuser of a thermal energy machine, in particular of a gas turbine, has a diffuser inlet, a diffuser outlet, and a plurality of air-guiding elements, wherein an air mass flow enters the diffuser through the diffuser inlet, and wherein the air mass flow that has entered the diffuser exits the diffuser through the diffuser outlet and flows off as a plurality of partial air mass flows by the air-guiding elements. At least two immediately adjacent air-guiding elements of the plurality of air-guiding elements are designed in such a way that the flow-off angles thereof with respect to the circumferential surface formed by the outlet opening of the diffuser outlet extending circumferentially in the circumferential direction differ from each other.

Abstract: An inner housing hub is arranged in a gas turbine about a gas turbine shaft and is formed as a component of an inner housing used to deflect hot gases exiting combustion chambers towards a turbine inlet region arranged in the direction of the gas turbine shaft. The inner housing hub includes at least one substantially cylinder casing-shaped securing portion having a cylinder casing-shaped main part, which has a hot side facing a hot gas path and a cold side facing away from the hot gas path. At least one web-shaped protrusion extends along the cold side and is arranged on the cold side on the main part in order to secure the inner housing hub. The web-shaped protrusion is made of a first material and the main part is made of a second material, the first material having a greater thermal expansion coefficient than the second material.
