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 15):
The turbine rotor blade according to  claim 5 , wherein a rotation direction comprises a direction of rotation for the rotor blade during expected operation in the turbine;\n wherein the tip shroud comprises a seal rail that projects radially outward from the outboard surface of the tip shroud and extends circumferentially in the rotation direction; wherein the outboard surface of the tip shroud comprises a leading portion that extends forward from the seal rail so to overhang the leading edge of the airfoil, and a trailing portion that extends afterward from the seal rail so to overhang the trailing edge of the airfoil; wherein the outboard surface of the tip shroud comprises a pressure side portion that cantilevers from the pressure side face of the airfoil and a suction side portion that cantilevers from the suction side face of the airfoil; and wherein an airfoil profile comprises an outline of a profile of the airfoil on the outboard surface of the tip shroud, and wherein the outboard surface of the tip shroud comprises an airfoil portion that is defined within the airfoil profile.
