Claim 10:
11. A method of operating a turbine assembly, the method comprising:
expanding a combustion product stream in the turbine assembly comprising a casing defining an inlet in fluid communication with a combustor for receiving the combustion product stream and an outlet for release of a turbine discharge stream, the casing including therein a rotor positioned in the casing and a plurality of blades each extending radially outwardly from a root at the rotor to a tip,
wherein the turbine assembly defines a ratio of blade velocity at the tip to a flow velocity of the combustion product stream, the ratio being between 1 and 5;
wherein the flow velocity of the combustion product stream is measured proximate the inlet of the turbine assembly and downstream of the combustor.
