Abstract:
A rotor blade ( 16 ) for a turbine of a gas turbine that includes an airfoil ( 25 ). The airfoil may have a leading edge, a trailing edge, an outboard tip, and an inboard end where the airfoil attaches to a root configured to couple the turbine blade to a rotor disc. The airfoil ( 25 ) may include a tip shroud ( 55 ) at an outboard tip. The rotor blade may have a cooling configuration that includes: elongated cooling channels ( 33 ) for receiving and directing a coolant through the airfoil ( 25 ); and branching passages ( 75 ) formed through the tip shroud ( 55 ), each of which elongates between a connection with one of the cooling channels ( 33 ) and an outlet port ( 37 ) formed on a surface of the tip shroud ( 55 ). The branching passages ( 75 ) may have a canted orientation relative the outboard surface of the tip shroud ( 55 ).

Claim (Index 14):
The turbine rotor blade according to  claim 11 , wherein the outlet ports of multiple ones of the branching passages comprise a position on the trailing portion of the outboard surface; and\n wherein the second discharge angle of the multiple ones of the branching passages having the outlet ports on the trailing portion of the outboard surface comprises an angle less than about 20\u00b0 relative to the reference line pointing against the rotation direction.
