  • Patent number: 10590782
    Abstract: A turbine nozzle having an airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z set forth in Table 1, and within an envelope of approximately ?0.067 to +0.101 inches, where the X and Y values are in inches and the Z values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 and convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z values by the height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form the airfoil shape. The X and Y values may also be scaled as a function of a first constant and the Z values may be scaled as a function of a second constant.

  • Patent number: 10590772
    Abstract: A turbine blade having an airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z set forth in Table 1, where the X and Y values are in inches and the Z values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 and convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z values by the height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form an airfoil shape. The X, Y, and Z distances may be scaled as a function of the same constant number and the X, Y, and Z distances lie within an envelope of approximately +/?0.032 inches in directions normal to the airfoil.
