  • Publication number: 20230097849
    Abstract: In a creation method of a trained model, a reconstructed image (60) obtained by reconstructing three-dimensional X-ray image data (80) is generated. A projection image (61) is generated from a three-dimensional model of an image element (50) by a simulation. The projection image is superimposed on the reconstructed image to generate a superimposed image (67). A trained model (40) is created by performing machine learning using the superimposed image, and the reconstructed image or the projection image.

  • Patent number: 11174746
    Abstract: A stator vane for a steam turbine includes: a vane body having an airfoil cross section including a pressure-side partition wall having a concave surface shape and a suction-side partition wall having a convex surface shape, the vane body having a hollow section formed between an inner surface of the pressure-side partition wall and an inner surface of the suction-side partition wall; and a first division wall dividing the hollow section into a first hollow section positioned at a leading edge side and a second hollow section positioned at a trailing edge side. The first hollow section is configured to be supplied with a fluid, or as a sealed space, and a slit is formed on at least one of the pressure-side partition wall or the suction-side partition wall, the slit being in communication with the second hollow section.

  • Patent number: 6533545
    Abstract: A moving turbine blade is disclosed. When an angle, which a tangent to a dorsal surface portion at a front edge of the moving turbine blade makes with a straight line perpendicular to a rotating shaft of a turbine, is designated as &thgr;, and a geometrical outlet angle of a stationary blade is designated as &agr;n, &thgr; is in the relationship &agr;N+2°<&thgr;<&agr;N+12°. As a result, the shape of the dorsal surface portion, at the front edge and in a portion adjacent thereto, of the moving turbine blade is not parallel to a stationary blade wake. Thus, the moving turbine blade can contribute to increasing the efficiency of the turbine, while suppressing an unsteady sharp increase in flow velocity.
