==STEAM TURBINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603682 titled 'STEAM TURBINE

The abstract describes a steam turbine with a unique stator vane design that improves efficiency and performance.

* The steam turbine includes a first rotor blade and a stator vane positioned downstream in the axial direction.
* The stator vane features an airfoil portion, a tip-side wall surface, and a hub-side wall surface.
* The tip-side wall surface is angled towards the central axis of the rotor on the downstream side, enhancing airflow and energy conversion.
* This design optimizes the flow of steam through the turbine, increasing power generation efficiency.

Potential Applications:
- Power generation plants
- Industrial processes requiring steam turbines
- Renewable energy systems

Problems Solved:
- Improved energy conversion efficiency
- Enhanced turbine performance
- Reduced energy losses in steam turbines

Questions about the technology:
1. How does the unique stator vane design impact the overall efficiency of the steam turbine?
2. What specific advantages does the angled tip-side wall surface of the stator vane provide in terms of energy conversion efficiency?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A steam turbine according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, includes: 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. 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. The tip-side wall surface is inclined to approach a central axis of the rotor toward the downstream side in the axial direction.
