  • Publication number: 20140190011
    Abstract: A turbine design method that can easily construct a turbine stage structure in which an unsteady force acting on a rotor blade can be reduced and degradation in performance and increase in rotor shaft length can be prevented is provided. Unsteady forces and exciting forces by the potential field interaction acting on the rotor blade are respectively obtained, exciting forces by the wake interaction acting on the rotor blade are obtained, the exciting forces by the potential field interaction and the wake interaction are mathematically expressed, the unsteady force acting on the rotor blade when the distance between stator and rotor blades is an arbitrary value is calculated, and the distance between stator and rotor blades is determined based on a calculation result.

  • Patent number: 6846160
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbine bucket to be provided at the low pressure last stage of a steam turbine and an object of the present invention is to provide a turbine bucket in which the adjacent blades are connected without using a connecting member at a blade intermediate portion. In order to achieve the object of the present invention, a turbine bucket of the present invention is formed in such a manner that the blade sectional configuration is twisted from a blade root portion to a blade tip side, and when assuming two axial directions in a blade section of the bucket on horizontal plane and taking one axial direction as X axis and the other axial direction perpendicular to X axis as Y axis, the blade sections at predetermined heights from the blade root portion of the turbine bucket are formed in a range of ±0.3 mm from respective points defining blade section configurations as shown respectively in chart 1, chart 4, chart 7, chart 10, chart 13, chart 16 and chart 18.
