Filed: 1985-06-04
Abstract: A stage of an axial flow steam turbine includes a rotor having a plurality of spaced apart buckets (32) and a plurality of spaced apart nozzle partitions (30) which are circumferentially spaced such that the minimum throat (S*) between adjacent partition pairs extends a predetermined radial distance along (111), along a locus (110) from the root, thereby forming a converging-diverging flow passageway between nozzle partitions. The trailing edges (31) of the nozzle partitions are disposed to include axial and tangential lean with respect to the rotor. The buckets (32) include a plurality of tip covers respectively connecting the tips and having a single outward radially extending sealing rib (36) on the radially outer surface of each cover, each rib (36) being tangentially aligned with respective adjacent ribs. The buckets (32) are overtwisted to compensate for untwist at operational speed to achieve optimum efficiency and they are interconnected, intermediate their lengths by lashing (41) for providing mechanical coupling at operational speed. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of forming superconductive ceramic material
Inventor: CHARNAH RICHARD MARTIN
IPC: H01L39/24
Filed: 1987-05-01
Abstract: Certain ceramic materials produced by specified heat treatment have been found to exhibit superconductivity at temperatures considerably higher than the liquid helium temperatures previously necessary for superconducting alloys. The forming of such superconducting ceramics into useful shapes and components presents difficulties owing to the inherent inflexible characteristics of ceramics. The present invention overcomes this problem by forming the superconductive ceramic from organic solutions of organic compounds of suitable cations. Such solutions may yield a superconducting ceramic powder directly by pyrolysis or more usefully the solutions may be evaporated to produce a gel which may be applied as a coating on a substrate, reduced to a powder by rapid heat treatment or evaporated slowly to produce a monolithic ceramic. The powder may be combined with an organic binder, and flowed into a sheet which is dried and may be cut into tape. The tape may then be wound to the required shape and fired.
