Abstract
A turbine engine assembly includes a condenser assembly arranged along the core flow path to extract water from the exhaust gas flow, and an evaporator assembly where thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow is communicated to the water extracted by the condenser assembly to generate a steam flow for injection into the core flow path. The evaporator assembly splits steam generation and cooling functions to increase efficiencies of each function.
