<p>A stationary blade of a steam turbine having a rotor and an inner cylinder for mounting the stationary blade in a row with plural identical stationary blades, comprising an airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure-side concave surface and suction-side convex surface extending between the leading and trailing edges. A stagger angle being defined by as an angle of a chord between the leading and trailing edges to a longitudinal axis of the rotor; an outer ring for connecting a proximal end of the airfoil to the inner cylinder; an inner ring connected to a distal end of the airfoil; and a seal assembly carried by the inner ring and sealingly engaging the rotor; wherein the stagger angle ranges from about 42 DEG at the distal end of the airfoil to about 52 DEG at the proximal end.</p> |
