Abstract
An aircraft propulsion system includes an exhaust duct that defines a flow path for the exhaust gas flow to a condenser assembly, and an evaporator system where heat from the exhaust gas flow is used to transform water from the condenser assembly into a steam flow for injection into the core engine. The evaporator system includes at least one heat exchanger stage that is mounted to the fan case and is in communication with the exhaust gas flow routed through the exhaust duct.
