  • High efficiency last stage bucket for steam turbine
    Patent number: 7997873
    Abstract: A turbine bucket including a bucket airfoil having an airfoil shape is provided. The airfoil shape has a nominal profile according to the tables set forth in the specification. The X and Y coordinate are smoothly joined by an arc of radius R defining airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at the Z distances are joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape. The airfoil profile results in improved efficiency and airfoil loading capability.
    Type: Grant
