Abstract: The present application provides a turbine nozzle including an airfoil shape. The airfoil shape may have a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table I. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances in inches by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The airfoil profile sections at Z distances may be joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.

Abstract: A clearance control system for a turbine having a stator assembly and a rotor assembly includes a hydraulic or pneumatic controller that axially drives, through a shaft, one or more actuators connected to the stator assembly casing. The controller causes relative movement between the stator and rotor assemblies to adjust the clearances between portions of the stator and rotor in accordance with the varying operating conditions of the turbine. More particularly, the controller moves the stator relative to the rotor in first and second axial directions to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction during the operating conditions of the turbine.
