Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to an airfoil for a gas turbine rotor blade. The airfoil includes a pressure side wall and a suction side wall connected to the pressure side wall at a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion. The pressure side wall and the suction side wall collectively define an internal cavity within the airfoil. A plurality of pins is disposed within the internal cavity. The trailing edge portion defines a first cooling passage having a first inlet spaced apart from a first outlet by a first length and a second cooling passage comprising a second inlet spaced apart from a second outlet by a second length. The first length is greater than the second length.
