A gas turbine engine that has a turbine (1) mounted downstream of a combustor (5), a compressor turbine (2) mounted downstream of turbine (1) for producing power for driving a compressor (3), a heat exchanger (6) having a first circuit (6.sup.1) connected to compressor turbine (2) and a second circu

A gas turbine engine that has a turbine (1) mounted downstream of a combustor (5), a compressor turbine (2) mounted downstream of turbine (1) for producing power for driving a compressor (3), a heat exchanger (6) having a first circuit (6.sup.1) connected to compressor turbine (2) and a second circuit (6.sup.2) connected between compressor (2) and turbine (1) and a fluid discharge device (7) between compressor (3) and combustor (5). The gas turbine engine has a reactor (8) that has a heating device (9), inlets (F, W) connected to sources of fuel and water and an outlet connected to combustor (5). Heating device (9) is connected the outlet of compressor turbine (2). The engine also has a system for keeping the temperature at the outlet of compressor turbine (2) constant.

A method of operation of a gas turbine engine, said method comprising:compressing fluid in a compressor having an inlet and outlet to obtain a compressed fluid;supplying said compressed fluid to a combustor for preparing a heated fluid through combustion with air supplied to said

[ I claim:] [1.]1. A method of operation of a gas turbine engine, said method comprising:compressing fluid in a compressor having an inlet and outlet to obtain a compressed fluid;supplying said compressed fluid to a combustor for preparing a heated fluid through combustion with air supplied to said combustor;expanding said heated fluid in a turbine and in a compressor turbine mounted downstream said turbine for rotation in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of said turbine, said compressor turbine having an outlet that has a temperature;cooling said heated fluid from said outlet of said compressor turbine to obtain a cooled fluid and supplying said cooled fluid to said compressor;using said compressed fluid that is supplied to said combustor for cooling said heated fluid from said outlet of said compressor turbineand discharging a part of said compressed fluid that is supplied to said combustor;keeping said temperature constant;heating fuel and water with said heated fluid obtained at said outlet of said compressor turbine, whereby said fuel is converted to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen; andsupplying said mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to said combustor.
