Effect of Chord Size on Weight and Cooling Characteristics of Air-cooled Turbine Blades
An analysis has been made to determine the effect of chord size on the weight and cooling characteristics of shell-supported, air-cooled gas-turbine blades. In uncooled turbines with solid blades, the general practice has been to design turbines with high aspect ratio (small blade chord) to achieve substantial turbine weight reduction. With air-cooled blades, this study shows that turbine blade weight is affected to a much smaller degree by the size of the blade chord.

Effect of Blade-tip Crossover Passages on Natural-convection Water-cooling of Gas-turbine Blades
A water-cooled turbine was fabricated and tested to determine the effect of a connecting passage at the turbine rotor blade tip between a radial coolant passage 0.10 inch in diameter (length-diameter ratio = 25.5) and radial coolant passages in the legnth-diameter range of 5.1 to 20.4. Coolant flow through the connecting passage is induced by free-convection forces in the radial passages.
