Airfoil profile for a second stage turbine nozzle
View Patent ↗Second-stage nozzles have vanes including airfoil profiles substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I with the X, Y and Z values commencing at the radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil and then made relative to that section for the Z coordinate values. The X, Y and Z values may be scaled as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled-up or scaled-down airfoil section for the nozzle.
1. A turbine nozzle having a nozzle vane in the shape of an airfoil in an envelope within ±0.100 inches in a direction normal to any airfoil surface location wherein the airfoil has an uncoated nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I with the X, Y and Z values commencing at a radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil and then made relative to that section for the Z coordinate values, the profiles at the Z distances being joined smoothly with one another to form the complete airfoil shape.
2. A turbine nozzle according to claim 1 forming part of a second stage of a turbine.
3. A turbine nozzle having a nozzle vane in the shape of an airfoil having an uncoated nominal airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I with the X, Y and Z values commencing at a radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil and then made relative to that section for the Z coordinate values, the profiles at the Z distances being joined smoothly with one another to form the complete airfoil profile; the X, Y and Z values being scaled as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled-up or scaled-down vane airfoil.
4. A turbine nozzle according to claim 3 forming part of a second stage of a turbine.
5. A turbine comprising a turbine nozzle having a plurality of vanes, each of said vanes being in the shape of an airfoil in an envelope within ±0.100 inches in a direction normal to any vane airfoil surface location wherein the airfoil has an uncoated nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I with the X, Y and Z values commencing at a radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil and then made relative to that section for the Z coordinate values, the profiles at the Z distances being joined smoothly with one another to form the complete airfoil shape.
6. A turbine according to claim 5 wherein the turbine nozzle comprises a second stage of the turbine.
7. A turbine according to claim 5 wherein the turbine nozzle stage has forty-eight vanes.
8. A turbine comprising a turbine nozzle having a plurality of vanes, each of said vanes being in the shape of an airfoil having an uncoated nominal airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in inches in Table I with the X, Y and Z values commencing at the radially innermost aerodynamic section of the airfoil and then made relative to that section for the Z coordinate values, the profiles at the Z distances being joined smoothly with one another to form the complete airfoil shape; the X, Y and Z values being scaled as a function of the same constant or number to provide a scaled-up or scaled-down vane airfoil.
9. A turbine according to claim 8 wherein the turbine nozzle comprises a second stage of the turbine.
