Abstract
A turbine engine assembly includes a condenser where water is extracted from the exhaust gas flow and an evaporator system where thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow is utilized to generate a steam flow from at least a portion of water that is extracted by the condenser for injection into the core flow path. A duct for the exhaust gas flow includes a cooling passage for a flow of water that accepts heat from the exhaust gas flow to cool the duct.
