Abstract
A turbine engine includes a compressor section for providing a compressed air flow, a fuel system for providing a primary combustor fuel supply, and a secondary combustor fuel supply. A primary combustor, located downstream of the compressor section, combusts the compressed air flow and the primary combustor fuel supply to generate primary combustion products. A turbine section, located downstream of the primary combustor, includes a turbine and a secondary combustor that further combusts the primary combustion products and the fuel from the secondary combustor fuel supply. A steam system provides a steam supply to the secondary combustor. The secondary combustor further combusts the primary combustion products and the secondary combustor fuel supply to generate secondary combustion products, and the turbine section is rotated by the secondary combustor steam supply and the inter-turbine combustion products.
