Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine engine includes a primary flowpath fluidly connecting a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section. A heat exchanger includes an first inlet connected to a high pressure compressor bleed, a first outlet connected to a high pressure turbine inlet. The heat exchanger further includes a second inlet fluidly connected to a supercharged CO2 (sCO2) coolant circuit and a second outlet connected to the sCO2 work recovery cycle. The sCO2 work recovery cycle is a recuperated Brayton cycle
