Abstract: In a guide vane according to an embodiment of the invention, where in a section perpendicular to a guide vane rotation axis, a curvature of a contour line forming a runner side vane surface of the guide vane is referred to as a positive curvature when the contour line is formed to be convex, while the curvature of the contour line is referred to as a negative curvature when the contour line is formed to be concave, a negative curvature portion where the curvature of the contour line becomes negative is provided on the runner side vane surface. The negative curvature portion is formed from an upper end portion to a lower end portion of the runner side vane surface.

Abstract: A composition capable of forming a heat-dissipation member having high thermal conductivity, and a heat-dissipation member. The composition for the heat-dissipation member of the present application contains a polymerizable liquid crystal compound having, at both terminals, a structure including an oxiranyl group or an oxetanyl group; a curing agent that cures the polymerizable liquid crystal compound; and an inorganic filler formed of nitride. A curing temperature of the composition for the heat-dissipation member is within or higher than the temperature range in which the polymerizable liquid crystal compound exhibits a liquid crystal phase, and within or lower than the temperature range in which the polymerizable liquid crystal compound exhibits an isotropic phase. The heat-dissipation member formed of such a composition can have excellent thermal conductivity owing to a synergistic effect between alignment of the liquid crystal compound and the inorganic filler formed of nitride.
