Rotor blade for a first phase of a gas turbine
First Claim
1. A blade of a rotor for a first phase of a gas turbine having a profile identified by means of a series of closed intersection curves between the profile itself and planes X, Y lying at distances Z from the central axis of the gas turbine, each closed curve having a first rounded end and a second rounded end which connect a trace of a first surface with a trace of a second surface in depression, said first end first meets a gas flow of the turbine, each closed curve having an axial chord defined as a maximum distance of the first end from the second end along a reference axis X, each closed curve having a dimensionless thickness of said first end defined as a maximum diameter of a circle inscribed in the first end, wherein said dimensionless thickness divided by said axial chord, has a quadric distribution according to a curve of the fourth order along an axis defining the distance (Z).

Abstract
Blade (1) of a rotor for a first phase of a gas turbine having a profile identified by means of a series of closed intersection curves (20) between the profile itself and planes (X,Y) lying at distances (Z) from the central axis, each closed curve (20) has a first rounded end (21) and a second rounded end (22), which connect the trace of the first surface (3) with the trace of the second surface (5) in depression, the first end (21) first meets a gas flow of the turbine, each closed curve (20) has an axial chord (40) defined as the maximum distance of the first end (21) from the second end (22) along the axis (X), each closed curve (20) has a thickness (30) of the first end (21) defined as the maximum diameter of the circle inscribed in the first end (21); said dimensionless thickness (30), i.e. divided by the axial chord (40), has a quadric distribution according to a curve of the fourth order along the axis (Z).
