Abstract
A turbine rotor blade includes an airfoil, root, and platform that is between the root and a proximate end portion of the airfoil. The blade defines a passage having a first leg, second leg, and arcuate portion. The arcuate portion is at least partially within the platform and connects the first and second legs. The first leg extends between a distal end portion of the airfoil and an inlet of the arcuate portion. The second leg extends from an outlet of the arcuate portion to the distal end portion of the airfoil. The platform includes a first feed passage and branch passages. The first feed passage is open through an extrados of the arcuate portion and is in fluid communication with the branch passages. The inlet of each branch passage is connected with the first feed passage while the outlet is open to an exterior of the platform.
