Abstract:
A turbine blade having a base and an airfoil, the base including a root end. The airfoil including a skin extending from the base and defining a first edge, a second edge, having a tip end opposite from the root end. The turbine blade further including a base rib extending from the base and into the airfoil, a center divider extending from adjacent the first edge towards the second edge, a center rib disposed between the center divider and the second edge, extending from adjacent the center divider towards the tip end and extending from adjacent the center divider towards the root end, a tip center rib extending from adjacent the second edge towards the first edge, a tip rib extending from adjacent the tip center rib towards the base, a dividing rib and a first channel.
