Abstract: A turbomachine includes a plurality of nozzles, and each nozzle has an airfoil. The turbomachine has opposing walls defining a pathway into which a fluid flow is receivable to flow through the pathway. A throat distribution is measured at a narrowest region in the pathway between adjacent nozzles, at which adjacent nozzles extend across the pathway between the opposing walls to aerodynamically interact with the fluid flow. The airfoil defines the throat distribution, and the throat distribution is defined by values set forth in Table 1, where the throat distribution values are within a +/?10% tolerance of the values set forth in Table 1. The throat distribution reduces aerodynamic loss and improves aerodynamic loading on each airfoil.

A first password string and a rule for configuring and generating a second password string from the first password string, are received from a user. The rule specifies a dynamic element to insert at a position in the first password string, based on first contextual information associated with the user.

The seal may include a stator overhang that extends axially toward the rotor inboard face. The stator overhang may include an overhang topside, an overhang underside, and an overhang face that is defined therebetween. The trench cavity seal may include a platform lip extending axially from the rotor inboard face toward the stator inboard face and circumferentially spaced turbulators extending axially from the rotor inboard face. An outboard edge and an inboard edge of the stator overhang axially jut such that, therebetween, a recessed pocket on the overhang face is formed. The platform lip may radially overlaps the recessed pocket on the overhang face so to form a multiple switch-back flowpath.

A second password string associated with the user and a rule for configuring and generating a third password string from the second password string is retrieved from a database. The rule specifies a dynamic element to insert in the second password string based on first contextual information associated with the user. The value of the specified dynamic element is determined based on second contextual information associated with the user. Based on the rule, the third password string is configured and generated from the second password string. It is determined that the first password string matches the third password string. Access to the electronic information is granted.
