Abstract
An aircraft propulsion system includes a series of condensers where water is condensed from the exhaust gas flow. Each of the series of condensers define a passage for exhaust gas flow such that water recovered from the exhaust gas flow drains at a downward angle in a direction of gravity through each of the series of condensers. A series of water separators separate the exhaust gas flow from water condensed in a corresponding one of the series of condensers and the water is transformed into a steam flow in an evaporator system for communication to the combustor.
