A turbomachine blade, and a coupon for a turbomachine blade, are disclosed. The blade may include an airfoil body having a pressure side and a suction side connected by a leading edge and a trailing edge, a coolant feed passage defined in the airfoil body, and a coolant reuse passage defined in the airfoil body. The blade may also include a first cooling circuit defined in the airfoil body. The first cooling circuit may include a rearward passage extending toward the trailing edge from and fluidly coupled to the coolant feed passage, and a radially spreading return passage extending away from the trailing edge toward and fluidly coupled to the coolant reuse passage. The cooling circuit may also include a radially extending turn passage coupling the rearward passage and the radially spreading return passage. A first set of obstructions may be positioned in the radially extending turn passage.
A turbomachine blade, comprising:
A coupon for replacing a cutout of a predetermined area in an airfoil body of a turbomachine blade, the airfoil body having a pressure side and a suction side connected by a leading edge and a trailing edge, the cutout within the trailing edge of the airfoil body, the coupon comprising:
A gas turbine system, comprising:
