ABSTRACT:
A turbine rotor blade with a single tip rail on the suction side of the blade tip, and in which the pressure side tip edge includes a row of trench film slots that each having side walls that are open on the pressure side wall and extend onto the tip floor and have side walls with a curvature toward the trailing edge of the blade tip. The trench film slots also have a curved inboard surface and a curved outboard surface in which the inboard surface curvature is less than the outboard surface curvature. The tip rail includes a slot opening onto the top surface and extending the length of the tip rail with a row of metering and cooling holes opening into the slot. The metering and cooling holes have a curvature toward the pressure side edge of the tip floor to increase a heat transfer rate form the metal.
