No turbine is 100% efficient, therefore the gas stream - having passed through the power turbine - will result in some thrust whilst exiting the exhaust can.

I was led to believe that this could be as much as 10% of the total energy remaining rear of the compressor turbine on the T-55 Lycoming fitted on the CH-47.
