Compressor blade tip seal

Franz Harter
TLDR
In this article, the inner wall surrounding the tips of axial flow fan/compressor blades in a turbine type power plant is angularly disposed relative to the gas path wall to allow deeper penetration into the trench and minimize leakage around the tips.
Abstract
The trench inner wall surrounding the tips of axial flow fan/compressor blades in a turbine type power plant is angularly disposed relative to the gas path wall to allow deeper penetration into the trench and minimize leakage around the tips. Gap closure between the inner wall of the trench and tip is contemplated by the contour of the blade/trench.

Fan and shroud assembly

TL;DR: In this article, a fan and shroud assembly includes a fan with a hub rotating around one shaft and a plurality of blades extending outwardly from the hub, a shroud encompassing the fan to adjust airflow by rotation of the fan, and a guide ring portion located at a position where a predetermined gap exists between the shroud and a circumference connecting end tips of the blades so that the fan coupled to the shroud rotates, and each swirl prevention unit having a shape in which the length of a circular arc passing each of the swirl prevention units with respect to the center of the shroud decreases as the
