Abstract
A turbine blade and a radial turbine having at least one blade is provided. The turbine blade includes a trailing edge and a leading edge opposite the trailing edge. The turbine blade also includes a cooling passage defined internally within the turbine blade. The cooling passage is in fluid communication with a source of cooling fluid via a single inlet to receive a cooling fluid. The cooling passage diverges at a first point downstream from the single inlet into at least two branches that extend along the at least one blade from the first point to a second point near a tip of the leading edge and the cooling passage converges at the second point.
