Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a rotor blade for a gas turbine engine. The rotor blade includes an airfoil, a tip shroud having a side surface and a radially outer surface, and a transition portion coupling the tip shroud to the airfoil. The airfoil, the transition portion, and the tip shroud collectively define a primary cooling passage therein. The primary cooling passage includes a primary cooling passage outlet defined by the side surface of the tip shroud.
