Original Abstract Submitted

A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a hydrogen fuel system supplying hydrogen fuel to the combustor through a fuel flow path. A condenser extracts water from an exhaust gas flow and includes a plurality of spiral passages disposed within a collector. The spiraling passages generate a transverse pressure gradient to direct water out of the exhaust gas flow toward the collector.
