Abstract

An axial-flow fluid machine blade which achieves reduction of the frictional loss of the blade and provision of a high surge-resistant property is provided. An axial-flow fluid machine blade 60 used for an axial-flow fluid machine includes a leading edge 61 projecting at the tip portion and the root portion thereof toward the upstream side and a trailing edge 62 projecting at the tip portion, the mid-span portion and the root portion thereof toward the downstream side.

Claims (9)

1. An axial-flow fluid machine blade used for an axial-flow fluid machine, comprising:

a leading edge projecting at a tip portion and a root portion thereof toward an upstream side; and a trailing edge projecting at the tip portion, a mid-span portion and the root portion thereof toward a downstream side,

wherein the axial-flow fluid machine blade is formed in such a manner that a chord length at the tip portion is same as a chord length at the root portion.

2. An axial-flow fluid machine blade used for an axial-flow fluid machine comprising: a leading edge projecting at a tip portion, a mid-span portion and a root portion thereof toward an upstream side; and a trailing edge projecting at the tip portion and the root portion thereof toward a downstream side,

wherein the axial-flow fluid machine blade is formed in such a manner that a chord length of the mid-span area is longer than a chord length of the area between the tip portion and the mid-span portion and the area between the mid-span portion and the root portion.

3. An axial-flow fluid machine blade used for an axial-flow fluid machine, wherein a chord length of the axial-flow fluid machine blade near a portion at 20% Ht and a chord length of the axial-flow fluid machine blade near a portion at 80% Ht are shorter than a chord length of the axial-flow fluid machine blade near a portion at 50% Ht, a chord length of the axial-flow fluid machine blade at 0%, and a chord length of the axial-flow fluid machine blade at 100%, when a root is at 0% Ht and a tip is at 100% Ht as a blade height.

4. An axial-flow fluid machine comprising the axial-flow fluid machine blade according to claim 1 .

5. An axial-flow fluid machine comprising the axial-flow fluid machine blade according to claim 2 .

6. An axial-flow fluid machine comprising the axial-flow fluid machine blade according to claim 3 .
