Abstract:
An engine comprising:an air compressor;a combustion chamber connected to said air compressor for burning fuel with air from said air compressor to generate a first gaseous output;a gas turbine driven by a second gaseous output passing therethrough; andheat recovery means for recovering heat from said second gaseous output after said second gaseous output has passed through said gas turbine, wherein said heat recovery means comprises:a first heat exchanger for extracting heat from said second gaseous output and for heating an input water stream to generate steam;a superheater for further heating said steam, said superheater burning fuel and air at the same pressure as said combustion chamber from said air compressor to generate a third gaseous output that is combined with said first gaseous output to form said second gaseous output; anda steam turbine for expanding said steam to generate work therefrom and creating a steam output.
