Abstract

A steam injected turbine engine includes a core engine section that generates a first gas flow, a burner where an inlet flow is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate thermal energy, and an evaporator where thermal energy from at least the first gas flow is used to transform water into a first steam flow. The first steam flow is injected into a core flow through the core engine.
