Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has a compressor rotor with blades and a disk. A bore is defined radially inwardly of the disk. A combustor includes a burner nozzle. A tap taps air that has been combusted in the combustor section through a valve, and into the bore of the disk. A method is also disclosed.
