on ABSTRACT
An exhaust hood for a steam turbine including turbine
rotor thats rotatable around a center axis and moving Blades
isposed on an outer periphery side of the turbine rotor
Includes: a bearing cone disposed on an inner periphery side
fad on a dowastream side of the moving blades ofa final
Sage: an annulate flow guide disposed on an outer periphery
ide and oa the downstream side of the moving blades ofthe
Final stage; and an extemal casing surrounding the beating
‘cane and the flow guide, Meridional shapes ofthe flow guide
at respective circumferential positions are shapes obtained
by rotating a certain representative shape” around
‘upstream end ofthe certain representative shape in a meridi-
cna plane and by equally miintaining or redueing 2 radial
Jength ofthe representative shape. A circumferential distr
bution of inclination angles ofthe upstream ead ofthe Mow
uid with respect fo an axial direction of the turbine rotor
bas representative inclination angles at respective represer
tative positions in the circumferential The eircamferential
