Abstract
A turbine engine assembly generates an exhaust gas flow that is divided into a first exhaust gas flow and a second exhaust gas flow. A desiccation system transfers water vapor from the first exhaust gas flow into the second exhaust gas flow. A condenser extracts water from the second exhaust gas flow and an evaporator system uses thermal energy from the exhaust gas flow 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.
