Abstract:
An integrated strut and turbine vane nozzle (ISV) has inner and outer annular duct walls defining an annular flow passage therebetween. Circumferentially spaced-apart struts extend radially across the flow passage. Circumferentially spaced-apart vanes also extend radially across the flow passage and define a plurality of inter-vane passages. Each of the struts is integrated to an associated one of the vanes to form therewith an integrated strut-vane airfoil. The inter-vane passages on either side of the integrated strut-vane airfoil may be adjusted for aerodynamic considerations. The vanes may be made separately from the struts and manufactured such as to cater for potential misalignments between the parts.
