Are those supposed to be injectors? Can anulars? looks like a weird design

sino dito marine engineering students haha napadpad dahil sa assignment

[serjjk]

Does anyone know how I can design an introduction like that?

THere used to be a CAT factory that made the solar turbines in York PA. They closed it down and moved it offshore. Prolly china.
