    Abstract: An axial-flow exhaust turbine is capable of discharging water drops collected from a steam passage. The axial-flow exhaust turbine includes: a steam passage in which rotor blades and stator blades are arranged in rows; an exhaust chamber for discharging steam from the steam passage in a turbine axial direction, the exhaust chamber being positioned at a downstream side of the steam passage; a casing including the steam passage and the exhaust chamber inside the casing; an inner partition wall positioned on an inner circumferential side of the casing so as to face the exhaust chamber; and a drain flow channel defined between the casing and the inner partition wall. The water drops collected from the steam passage can pass through the drain flow channel.
