Abstract:
To provide a mixed flow turbine in which supply of working fluid is designed to be supplied at a hub and a shroud, and the shape of the inlet-side edges of the blades is made to work effectively, thereby reducing incidence loss. A mixed flow turbine including blades whose leading edges are formed in a convex shape toward the upstream side; and a scroll that is a space formed upstream of the blades by a casing having a shroud that covers the radially external edges of the blades, the space being for supplying working fluid toward the leading edges of the blades, wherein the scroll is separated by a scroll partition wall into a shroud-side space and a hub-side space; and a shroud-side partition wall surface and a hub-side partition wall surface at the rear edge side of the scroll partition wall form a shroud-side inlet channel in which the working fluid flows substantially radially and a hub-side inlet channel in which the working fluid flows substantially in the same direction as the inclination direction of the hub side at the inlet of the blades between the partition wall surfaces and portions facing the partition wall surfaces, respectively.
