Abstract

Claims (15)

1. A steam turbine, comprising:

a first rotor blade disposed in an outer periphery of a rotor; and

a stator vane adjacent to the first rotor blade on a downstream side in an axial direction of the rotor,

wherein the stator vane has a stator vane airfoil portion, a tip-side wall surface located on a tip side of the stator vane airfoil portion, and a hub-side wall surface located on a hub side of the stator vane airfoil portion, and

wherein the tip-side wall surface is inclined to approach a central axis of the rotor toward the downstream side in the axial direction,

wherein the first rotor blade has an outer shroud disposed on a radially outer side of the rotor with respect to the first rotor blade airfoil portion of the first rotor blade,

wherein the steam turbine comprises seal fins of an arc shape which are disposed in multiple rows at intervals in the axial direction of the rotor and between the outer shroud and a stationary member located on the radially outer side with respect to the outer shroud, and extend in a circumferential direction of the rotor, and

wherein a position in a radial direction of the rotor of a tip of the seal fin located on a most downstream side in the axial direction among the multiple rows of the seal fins is the same as a position in the radial direction of the tip-side wall surface at a leading edge end of the stator vane or located inward in the radial direction relative to the position.

2. The steam turbine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the seal fin located on the most downstream side in the axial direction projects from the stationary member toward the outer shroud.

3. The steam turbine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the seal fin located on the most downstream side in the axial direction projects from the outer shroud toward the stationary member.

4. The steam turbine according to claim 1 , comprising:

a second rotor blade disposed in the outer periphery of the rotor and on the downstream side in the axial direction of the stator vane,

wherein a blade height of a second rotor blade airfoil portion of the second rotor blade at a trailing edge end of the second rotor blade is the same as a vane height of the stator vane airfoil portion at a trailing edge end of the stator vane or higher than the vane height.
