Zusammenfassung:A turbine bucket includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a root portion, and a tip portion. The turbine bucket also includes one or more cooling passages extending through a body of the turbine bucket from an inlet to an outlet. The cooling passages are configured to route a cooling flow of fluid through the turbine bucket. The turbine bucket further includes a plenum defined within the tip portion to receive the fluid from the outlet of the cooling passages for expulsion of the cooling flow of fluid into a main flow path via at least one outlet hole proximate the trailing edge of the turbine bucket.
