    Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine having a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order, the turbomachine further including an outer casing; a fuel cell assembly positioned within the outer casing of the turbomachine, the fuel cell assembly including a fuel cell and an output products line in fluid communication with an outlet of the fuel cell for receiving output products from the fuel cell; a fuel delivery assembly including a fuel line; and a reformer in communication with the fuel line and the output products from the fuel cell during operation of the gas turbine engine to convert a fuel flow through the fuel line to a hydrogen rich gas.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustion section, a turbine section, and an exhaust section in serial flow order and together defining a core air flowpath. The gas turbine engine also includes a turbine rear frame extending through the core air flowpath at a location downstream of the turbine section and defining a leading edge within the core air flowpath. The gas turbine engine also includes a waste heat recovery system operable to separate, at or upstream of the leading edge of the turbine rear frame, a core airflow exiting the turbine section into a primary exhaust airflow and a waste heat recovery airflow. The waste heat recovery system comprises a heat source exchanger positioned to receive the waste heat recovery airflow.
