摘要: A turbine blade includes a blade having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end. A tip is located at an outer radial portion of the blade. A blade dovetail complements a corresponding dovetail slot in a turbine rotor. The dovetail has a body, and a plurality of projections extending from the body in opposing directions for complementing a plurality of recesses in the corresponding dovetail slot. A tapered groove extends through the body from the first end to the second end. The tapered groove has a tapered profile such that a first depth of the tapered groove near the first end is greater than a second depth of the tapered groove near the second end. The tapered profile gradually transitions from the first depth to the second depth, so that the tapered groove is open at a bottom surface and sized to engage a shim.

摘要: A rotor assembly is provided. The rotor assembly includes a plurality of blades spaced circumferentially. An airfoil of each blade includes a pressure side, a suction side, a pressure side nub extending from the pressure side, and a suction side nub extending from the suction side. An airfoil length is greater than one of (i) 40 inches, wherein the rotor is configured for operation at about 3600 rpm, and (ii) 48 inches, wherein the rotor is configured for operation at about 3000 rpm. The rotor assembly also includes a plurality of sleeves. Each of the sleeves extends from a first end to a second end. The first end is coupled to the pressure side nub of a first of the blades and the second end is coupled to the suction side nub of an adjacent second of the blades.
