[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7798672, member: 2119"] I think you/he was right. We used to inject water or steam into the combustion zone of gas turbines to increase power output and efficiency. The steam expanded further and added momentum over and above air. I think the draw back that prevented its widespread adoption was that the water or steam had to be very pure otherwise it put deposits on the turbine blades which reduced efficiency. Generally speaking the cooler the air going into an engine, the more efficiently it will perform, hence the use of intercoolers. [/QUOTE]
