Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a silicon-controlled rectifier water-cooling heat dissipation device, including: a water-cooling cavity body; a silicon-controlled rectifier; and a heat dissipation plate. The heat dissipation plate includes: a first heat dissipation part configured to contact the water-cooling cavity body; and a second heat dissipation part connected to the first heat dissipation part and configured to contact the silicon-controlled rectifier. A preset included angle is formed between a plane where the first heat dissipation part is located and a plane where the second heat dissipation part is located. The heat of the silicon-controlled rectifier is transferred to the water-cooling cavity body through the heat dissipation plate. An occupied volume can be effectively reduced because the first heat dissipation part and the second heat dissipation part form the included angle. The cooling water takes away the heat by the flowability of the water to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

The bearing housing is configured to apply the level of radial spring stiffness of the bearing housing against the rotor with the bumper bearing seated against the bearing seat.

Abstract: A rotor blade comprises a blade platform and an airfoil. The airfoil comprises a blade tip, a leading edge, and a trailing edge with a stiffening compound lean contour. The blade tip is radially opposite the blade platform, and defines a blade span between the blade itself and the blade platform. The leading and trailing edges extend from the blade platform to the blade tip to define blade chords between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The compound lean contour comprises a positive lean section located at the lean tip, and extending along a lean axis to a lean end. The negative lean section is located radially inward of the positive lean section, and extends along the lean axis to the lean end.
