TURBOMACHINE NOZZLE WITH AN AIRFOIL HAVING A CIRCULAR TRAILING EDGE

Abstract:

A turbomachine defines an axial direction, a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and a circumferential direction extending concentrically around the axial direction. The turbomachine includes a nozzle having an inner platform, an outer platform, and an airfoil. The airfoil includes a leading edge, a trailing edge downstream of the leading edge, a pressure side surface, and a suction side surface opposite the pressure side surface. The trailing edge defines a circular arc between the inner platform and the outer platform.
