guide vanes

These stationary compressors are actually static guide vanes where energy transformation takes place.

These normally operate as a single stage without nozzle and interstage guide vanes.

After heating, air passes from the combustor through the nozzle guide vanes to the turbine.

Counter-rotating spools for the reaction turbines to reduce load on guide vanes.

The guide vanes therefore act as the valves between the penstock and turbine.

This means the HP turbine nozzle guide vanes would have to be different from the original!

Guide vanes direct the water tangentially to the turbine wheel, known as a 'runner'.

For such axial-flow compressors, consider a set of guide vanes with an approach velocity c1.

The fans incorporated guide vanes for flow straightening to achieve maximum performance and ran at 995rpm.

Water admission to the two nozzles is throttled by two shaped guide vanes.

Also, shrouded guide vanes reduce secondary flows.

The turbine was also unique for the era, using a set of guide vanes that were adjustable for various operating speeds.

Uppermost fan fitted with variable inlet guide vanes.

This system changes the angle of the guide vanes depending on the exhaust pressure, giving the system excellent power throughout the rev range.

Both guide vanes can be set by control levers, to which an automatic or manual control may be connected.

Unlike some military engines, modern civil turbofans do not have any stationary inlet guide vanes in front of the fan rotor.

The guide vanes (or wicket gate) may be adjustable to allow efficient turbine operation for a range of water flow conditions.

Four guide vanes held the cone in place, with a power takeoff shaft running inside one of them to power the top-mounted accessories section.

In all probability, the downstream LP turbine nozzle guide vanes would have to be changed anyway.

The guide vanes should seal to the edges of the turbine casing so that when the water is low, they can shut off the water supply.

Finally, this larger volume of gases is expanded and accelerated by nozzle guide vanes before energy is extracted by a turbine.

The schedule shows that variable inlet guide vanes (IGV) were also part of the compressor design.

In a transonic turbine the gas flow becomes supersonic as it exits the nozzle guide vanes, although the downstream velocities normally become subsonic.

However, for supersonic cruise, the fan variable inlet guide vanes and auxiliary intake close-off to minimize bypass flow and increase specific thrust.

Multi-stage turbines have a set of static (meaning stationary) inlet guide vanes that direct the gasflow onto the rotating rotor blades.
