Abstract

A turbine engine assembly includes a compressor section where an inlet airflow is compressed, a combustor section where the compressed inlet airflow is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate an exhaust gas flow, a turbine section through which the exhaust gas flow is expanded to generate a mechanical power output, a condenser system that includes a water tank that is configured for extracting water from the exhaust gas flow by communicating the exhaust gas flow directly through a volume of water within the water tank, and an evaporator system that is at least partially exposed to the exhaust gas flow where thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow is utilized to generate a steam flow from at least a portion of water that is extracted by the condenser system for injection into a core flow path.
