Blade Design for Steam Turbine
 

Dear all, I have a question how to design the airfoil of blade steam turbine. Can anybody tell me? What is the procedure to design airfoil?. Thanks for your kind help

steam turbine blade
 

Hello, first u have to find the profile coordinates of the steam turbine blade. this can be found if u search in the web. then when u could find those x an y coordinates, u have to use Spline tool in the SolidWorks. (any other softwares have the same ability like Powershape, ...)
if u extrude it, u will have a simple blade which should be rotated around a hub.

I think I gave u some guidelines.
BTW: I could find airfoil profile of the Wind Turbine Blade here:
