  • Patent number: 9200526
    Abstract: A transition piece 10 in an embodiment is provided with an inner duct 20 through which a combustion gas is led to a turbine part 130 and an outer duct 30 that is provided so as to cover an outer periphery of the inner duct 20 and has a plurality of ejection holes 31 to eject air onto an outer peripheral surface of the inner duct 20 formed therein. It is structured such that a channel cross-sectional area of a cooling air channel 50 that is formed between the inner duct 20 and the outer duct 30 and through which the air ejected from the ejection holes 31 flows gradually decreases at an air flow downstream side rather than the portion where the ejection holes 31 are formed, and gradually increases from a throat portion 60 having the minimized channel cross-sectional area to an air flow downstream side.

  • Publication number: 20060257653
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber or fiber product comprising an artificial fiber and filler incorporated therein, the filler being a filler whose own color changes or a filler mixture whose entire color appears to change by irradiation with a laser beam. The filler whose own color changes by irradiation with a laser beam is preferably barium sulfate or diantimony. The filler is usually in the form of particles with a mean particle diameter of not more than about 15 ?m. When the fiber or fiber product of the invention is irradiated with a laser beam, the fiber changes color in the irradiated portion, so that a minute mark can be produced on the individual spun yarns or filament yarns of the fiber or fiber product.
