    Abstract: An energy supply system includes a source of gas which is at a pressure that is equal to or greater than an atmospheric pressure. The source of gas is configured to deliver the gas into a combustor where it is mixed with a fuel. The combustor is also connected to receive a source of steam. The combustor is operable to provide combustion. Products of the combustion downstream of the combustor are connected to be delivered across a turbine rotor. The turbine rotor is provided with a shaft. The turbine shaft drives a generator. An evaporator downstream of the turbine receives the products of the combustion. The evaporator is operable to heat a source of water. The source of water downstream of the evaporator is the source of steam delivered into the combustor. The gas includes greater than 80% oxygen and the fuel includes hydrogen.

    Abstract: An engine system includes a turbine engine including a compressor section, a combustor section having a burner, a turbine section, and a nozzle in an open-loop configuration. The engine system also includes a bottom-cycle apparatus and an exhaust heat exchanger downstream of the turbine section of the turbine engine configured to reject heat from the turbine engine to the bottoming-cycle apparatus and create a cooled turbine exhaust in the turbine engine. The engine system further includes an exhaust compressor arranged downstream of the exhaust heat exchanger and upstream of the nozzle of the turbine engine configured to compress the cooled turbine exhaust stream and increase a pressure of the cooled turbine exhaust stream prior to exiting the nozzle of the turbine engine.

    Abstract: Aircraft engines include a burner section and a turbine section arranged along a shaft, wherein an exhaust from the burner section is directed through the turbine section to drive rotation of the turbine section and a core flow path passes through the burner section and then the turbine section. A condenser assembly is arranged downstream of the turbine section along the core flow path. A cryogenic fuel source is configured to supply fuel to the burner section along a fuel line passing through the condenser assembly and the fuel within the fuel line is configured to pick up heat from the exhaust from the burner section and condense water therefrom.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger has arcuate inlet and outlet manifolds and a plurality of tube banks, each tube bank coupling one of the inlet manifold outlets to an associated one of the outlet manifold inlets. Each tube bank partially nests with one or more others of the tube banks and has: a first header coupled to the associated inlet manifold outlet and the associated the outlet manifold inlet; a second header; and a plurality of tube bundles each having a first end coupled to the associated first header and a second end coupled to the associated second header. A flowpath from the each inlet manifold outlet passes sequentially through flowpath legs formed by each of the tube bundles in the associated tube bank to exit the tube bank to the associated outlet manifold inlet.
