Abstract:
A modified J-type cantilevered vane reduces rubbing of an airfoil and enhances the vibration stability of a vane hub and the fluidity of fluid. The cantilevered vane includes a root attachment inserted into a slot formed in an inner circumferential surface of a casing of a gas turbine, and an airfoil vertically extending from the root attachment to a predetermined height. The airfoil includes a linear part extending in a radial direction from the inner circumferential surface of the casing toward a rotating shaft of the gas turbine, and a curved part integrally formed with the linear part, the curved part including a bend beginning from one end of the linear part and curving in a circumferential direction of the rotating shaft. Overall, the linear part and the curved part are biased in the circumferential direction, since the airfoil has a J-shaped X-axis profile and a C-shaped Y-axis profile.
