Abstract: The present invention concerns a photomultiplier having a lamination structure of fine mesh dynodes arranged at predetermined intervals, capable of detecting photons even in a high magnetic field. This photomultiplier is arranged so that hollow pipes penetrating electrodes for supporting the fine mesh dynodes define the lamination structure of an electron multiplier unit. This arrangement permits the intervals between the fine mesh dynodes to be accurately controlled, thereby obtaining the photomultiplier production errors of which are well suppressed and preventing that the fine mesh dynodes are ripped.

Abstract: In an axial-flow turbine, at least one of front and rear side contact surfaces of shrouds (3a or 3b) of blades (1a or 1b) with respect to the turbine rotational direction is formed at certain angle with respect to a radial line connecting the rotor center and the contact surface. The shroud (3a) of the blade (1a) of a first kind is formed in a trapezoidal shape converging radially outward in cross section taken in a plane perpendicular to the turbine axial direction, and the shroud (3b) of the blade (1b) of a second kind is formed in an inverted trapezoidal shape converging radially inward in the cross section. Further, half of an angle (2.alpha.) between the front and rear side contact surfaces of the shrouds (3a or 3b) is made smaller than a static frictional angle of the contact surface.

Abstract: A forced-air cooling apparatus is provided for a steam turbine which comprises an outer casing composed of upper and lower casing halves, an inner casing composed of upper and lower casing halves and disposed inside the outer casing and a rotor coaxially disposed inside the inner casing for forming a steam flow passage between the inner casing and the rotor and in which steam introduced into the steam flow passage from a steam inlet portion is impinged against blades of the rotor to impart a turning force thereto as a movable portion such as rotor with respect to a stationary portion such as an inner casing.
