Claim 10:
11. A gas turbine engine comprising:
a compressor section, a combustion section, a turbine section, and an exhaust section in serial flow order and together defining a core air flowpath, the exhaust section including a primary exhaust flowpath and a waste heat recovery flowpath parallel to the primary exhaust flowpath; and
a waste heat recovery system comprising a heat source exchanger positioned in thermal communication with a first portion of the waste heat recovery flowpath,
wherein the waste heat recovery flowpath is defined entirely between an outer wall of the exhaust section and a divider wall spaced radially inwardly from the outer wall, radially outwardly from an inner wall defining an inner barrier to the primary exhaust flowpath, wherein the divider wall is disposed within the primary exhaust flowpath,
wherein the waste heat recovery system is aft of a last rotating stage of the turbine section.
