About 20 years ago there was an aircraft used either for a distance record or high altitude atmospheric observation that used cooled, recycled exhaust gas as the working fluid, with O2 tank storage to enable the combustion of the fuel. The excess exhaust gas was bled off. That was done to maintain the engine power output in a low pressure atmosphere.

I understand that some submarines use something similar when submerged.
