Abstract:
A trailing edge cooling system for a turbine blade is disclosed. The system may include a cooling circuit including an outward leg, and a return leg positioned adjacent the outward leg. The outward and return leg each may extend toward and away, respectively, from a trailing edge of the turbine blade. The cooling circuit may also include a plurality of turn legs. The plurality of turn legs may include a turn leg positioned directly adjacent the trailing edge of the turbine blade, and a distinct turn leg positioned axially adjacent the turn leg, and opposite the trailing edge of the turbine blade. The distinct turn leg may be oriented non-parallel to at least one of the outward leg and the return leg.
