A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a core engine that includes a core flow path where air is compressed in a compressor section, communicated to a combustor section, mixed with a cryogenic fuel and ignited to generate an exhaust gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section. The propulsion system includes a condenser that is arranged along the core flow path and configured to extract water from the exhaust gas flow, an evaporator that is arranged along the core flow path and configured to receive a portion of the water that is extracted by the condenser to generate a steam flow, the steam flow is injected into the core flow path upstream of the turbine section, an electrical device that generates thermal energy, and a heat exchanger where thermal energy from the electrical device is communicated to a cooling water flow.
