Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steam turbine rotor blade (20) for a low pressure section of a steam turbine engine (10). SOLUTION: This steam turbine rotor blade (20) includes an airfoil portion (42). A root section (44) is attached to one end of the airfoil portion (42). A dovetail section (40) projects from the root section (44), wherein the dovetail section (40) includes a skewed axial entry dovetail. A tip section (46) is attached to the airfoil portion (42) at an end opposite from the root section (44). A cover (48) is integrally formed as part of the tip section (46). A part span shroud (50) is attached at an intermediate section of the airfoil portion (42) between the ends thereof (42). The rotor blade (20) includes an exit annulus area of about 47.7 ft2(4.43 m2) or greater. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
