Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section, a turbine section, and an exhaust section in serial flow order and together defining a core air flowpath. The gas turbine engine also includes a turbine rear frame extending through the core air flowpath at a location downstream of the turbine section and defining a leading edge within the core air flowpath. The gas turbine engine also includes a waste heat recovery system operable to separate, at or upstream of the leading edge of the turbine rear frame, a core airflow exiting the turbine section into a primary exhaust airflow and a waste heat recovery airflow. The waste heat recovery system comprises a heat source exchanger positioned to receive the waste heat recovery airflow.
