Claim 0:
1. A turbine rotor of a radial flow turbine, the turbine rotor comprising:
a base;
a plurality of blades circumferentially spaced about an axis of rotation and extending from the base, each of the plurality of blades extending radially outward from the base to a tip and chordwise from a leading edge to a trailing edge, each of the plurality of blades having a suction side and a pressure side;
a central nose radially inward of the plurality of blades, wherein the central nose defines the axis of rotation;
impingement jets circumferentially disposed around and extending through a rear surface of the turbine rotor;
a plurality of exit jets extending through the trailing edge of each blade of the plurality of blades; and
a plurality of cooling manifolds disposed within the turbine rotor extending between the impingement jets and the plurality of exit jets.
