    摘要: A hollow portion is formed inside a stator blade. A slit having an inlet opening on a pressure surface of the stator blade facing wet steam flow is formed that communicates with the hollow portion in the axial direction of the stator blade. The hollow portion communicates with a region having a lower pressure than the flow field of the wet steam flow. The pressure in the hollow portion is reduced to introduce water film flow formed from water drops on the pressure surface of the stator blade to the slit. The slit is formed at a downstream side end, in the flow direction of the wet steam flow, of the hollow portion, and the stator blade trailing edge side wall surface of the slit is at an acute angle to a leading edge side reference plane of the pressure side of the stator blade.

    摘要: A method of making an aero-derivative gas turbine engine (100) is provided. A combustor outer casing (68) is removed from an existing aero gas turbine engine (60). An annular combustor (84) is removed from the existing aero gas turbine engine. A first row of turbine vanes (38) is removed from the existing aero gas turbine engine. A can annular combustor assembly (122) is installed within the existing aero gas turbine engine. The can annular combustor assembly is configured to accelerate and orient combustion gasses directly onto a first row of turbine blades of the existing aero gas turbine engine. A can annular combustor assembly outer casing (108) is installed to produce the aero-derivative gas turbine engine (100). The can annular combustor assembly is installed within an axial span (85) of the existing aero gas turbine engine vacated by the annular combustor and the first row of turbine vanes.
