Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides a turbine blade (12) comprising a leading edge cooling circuit (30), a trailing edge cooling circuit (34), a mid-section cooling circuit (32) comprising a first channel (32a), an intermediate channel (32b), and a final channel (32c), and an axial tip cooling circuit (56). The leading edge, mid-section, and trailing edge cooling circuits (30, 32, 34) each receive a cooling airflow (CF) from a cooling air supply. A radially outer portion of each of the leading edge and mid-section cooling circuits (30, 32) further comprises at least one outlet (62, 64) in fluid communication with the axial tip cooling circuit (56) such that substantially all of a leading edge cooling airflow (LEF) exiting the leading edge cooling circuit (30) and substantially all of a mid-section cooling airflow (MSF) exiting the mid-section cooling circuit (32) is directed to the axial tip cooling circuit (56).
