Abstract

A turbine engine assembly includes a core engine that generates an exhaust gas flow, a condenser where water is extracted from the exhaust gas flow, an evaporator where heat is input into the water that is extracted by the condenser to generate a first steam flow, a first steam turbine where the first steam flow is expanded and cooled to generate a first cooled flow, a bypass passage that defines a path for the first steam flow around the first steam turbine, and a superheater where at least one of the first steam flow and the first cooled flow is reheated to generate a second steam flow.
