A coupon for replacing a cutout in a hot gas path component of a turbomachine is provided. The coupon includes a body having an outer surface; a chamber within the body for receiving a flow of a coolant; and a passage extending from the chamber to the outer surface of the body. The passage includes an internal portion within a wall of the body having a first perpendicular, cross-sectional area and an exit portion at the outer surface of the body having a second perpendicular, cross-sectional area that is greater than the first perpendicular, cross-sectional area.

A turbine rotor includes a base and a plurality of blades. The base and the blades curve such that radially outward portions of the base and the blades extend in a direction with a greater component in a radial direction than in an axial direction. Radially central portions of the base and the blade extend in a direction with the two components being closer. Radially inner sections of the base and the blades extend in a direction with a greater component in the axial direction than in a radial direction. There is a cooling channel arrangement in the turbine rotor. The cooling channel arrangement includes impingement cooling for a nose and serpentine passages for cooling sections of the platform circumferentially intermediate the blades, and distinct serpentine passages for cooling the plurality of blades. A turbomachine and method are also disclosed.

A turbine hot gas path (HGP) component includes a body having an exterior surface exposed to a hot gas path, and a cooling circuit defined along an interior surface of the body and fluidly coupled to a coolant source. The cooling circuit includes a plurality of sections spaced from one another but fluidly connected. Each section includes a wall defining at least one cooling passage, and a connector wall coupling between the wall of a first section of the plurality of sections and the wall of an adjacent, second section of the plurality of sections. The wall of the first section and the wall of the adjacent, second section are spaced apart, segregating stress between the sections. The connector wall is more flexible than: the wall of the first section, the wall of the adjacent, second section, and the body, allowing stress relief between the sections.
