Abstract
In order to provide a gas turbine tail tube seal which can prevent an outer shroud and an inner shroud in a first row stationary blade from being damaged by heat and from being worn, and to provide a gas turbine having the above-mentioned gas turbine tail tube seal, in the gas turbine tail tube seal, the width of a combustion gas flow channel in the gas turbine tail tube seal is smaller than the width of a combustion gas flow channel made between an outer surface of the inner shroud and an inner surface of the outer shroud, and the combustion gas flow channel is provided with inclined surfaces having a gradually enlarging cross section toward the first row stationary blade in at least a downstream end section.
