Abstract
A gas turbine stationary blade having passages (23, 24) that are provided in the stationary blade (10). A front cylindrical insert (2) is provided in the passage (23) and a rear cylindrical insert (5) is provided in the passage (24), and the inserts are supported at two supporting portions (3a, 3b), (6a, 6b), respectively. A projection (1) is provided at a leading edge portion of the blade so that the leading edge, where the thermal loads are high, is made smaller in size and the number of rows of cooling holes (11a) in the leading edge portion is reduced. Air blowing holes (4b) are provided on the dorsal side rear portion of the front insert (2) and film cooling holes (12) are provided on the dorsal side of the blade, both have diameters that are larger than other air blowing and cooling holes provided in the insert (2) and the blade (10), so that dust in the cooling air is caused to flow out, thereby preventing clogging of the holes. The curved surface of the blade leading edge portion is formed on an elliptical curve, so that the cooling air is caused to flow smoothly. Also, curved surfaces of fillets are formed on an elliptical curve so that thermal stresses concentrated near t…
