Abstract:
A system is provided, including an airfoil. The airfoil includes a first suction portion of a nominal airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z of a suction side as set forth in TABLE I to a maximum of three decimal places, wherein the X and Y values of the suction side are coordinate values that couple together to define suction side sections of the first suction portion of the nominal airfoil profile at each Z coordinate value, the suction side sections of the first suction portion of the nominal airfoil profile are coupled together to define the first suction portion, the airfoil includes an airfoil length along a Z axis, the first suction portion comprises a first portion length along the Z axis, the first portion length is less than or equal to the airfoil length, and the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z are non-dimensional values convertible to dimensional distances.

Abstract:
A flow manipulating arrangement for a turbine exhaust diffuser includes a strut having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the strut disposed within the turbine exhaust diffuser. Also included is a plurality of rotatable guide vanes disposed in close proximity to the strut and configured to manipulate an exhaust flow, wherein the plurality of rotatable guide vanes is coaxially aligned and circumferentially arranged relative to each other. Further included is an actuator in operative communication with the plurality of rotatable guide vanes and configured to actuate an adjustment of the plurality of rotatable guide vanes. Yet further included is a circumferential ring operatively coupling the plurality of rotatable guide vanes, wherein the actuator is configured to directly actuate rotation of one of the rotatable guide vanes, and wherein the circumferential ring actuates rotation of the plurality of rotatable guide vanes upon rotational actuation by the actuator.
