Abstract
A turbine engine for an aircraft includes a turbo-engine with a core air flow path, a fan having a fan shaft coupled to the turbo-engine to rotate the fan shaft, and a steam system. A combustor is positioned in the core air flow path to combust fuel and to generate combustion gases. The steam system is fluidly coupled to the core air flow path to provide steam to the core air flow path. The steam system includes a boiler to generate the steam, a water pump, and a controller. The water pump is in fluid communication with the boiler to direct a flow of water into the boiler. The controller is operatively coupled to the water pump to control the output of the water pump, the flow of the water into the boiler, and the amount of the steam injected into the core air flow path.
