Abstract

In a gas turbine that generates rotational power by supplying fuel to compressed air compressed by a compressor and burning the fuel in a combustor and supplying resultant combustion gas to a turbine, a circumferential distance starting from a leading edge of a turbine first stage nozzle toward a trailing edge side of the first stage nozzle and ending at center of transition pieces of such combustors that are adjacent in a circumferential direction is set relative to a circumferential pitch of such first stage nozzles within a range of 0.05≦S/P≦0.15, and an axial distance between a leading edge of the first stage nozzle and a transition piece rear end of the combustor is set relative to the circumferential pitch of the first stage nozzles within a range of 0.00≦L/P≦0.13. By improving the relative position of a transition piece of the combustor and the first stage nozzle, both suppression of inner pressure fluctuations of the combustor and enhancement in aerodynamic efficiency can be achieved.

Claims (5)

1 . A gas turbine that generates rotational power by supplying fuel to compressed air compressed by a compressor and burning the fuel in a combustor and supplying resultant combustion gas to a turbine, wherein

a circumferential distance S starting from a leading edge of a turbine first stage nozzle toward a trailing edge side of the first stage nozzle and ending at center of such combustors that are adjacent in a circumferential direction is set relative to a circumferential pitch P of such first stage nozzles within a range of 0.05≦S/P≦0.15, and an axial distance L between a leading edge of the first stage nozzle and a rear end of the combustor is set relative to the circumferential pitch P of the first stage nozzles within a range of 0.00≦L/P≦0.13.

2 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential distance S is set relative to the circumferential pitch P to satisfy S/P=0.10.

3 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the axial distance L is set relative to the circumferential pitch P within a range of 0.08≦L/P≦0.13.

4 . The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein a circumferential thickness D of a rear end of the combustors that are adjacent in the circumferential direction is set relative to the circumferential pitch P within a range of D/P≦0.26.
