Yes. But the whole point is that steam injected in an engine will expand higher than if it wasn't in the first place. Steam will go into a superheated (I call it)"mass state" Water already in the air is at the same temp as the air. It won't. Water injection pulls too much heat back too the "water" killing the flame front and increasing ignition delay.
I injected about 1% steam too fuel mass. Remember it only has fraction of a second cool it won't "all" cool. It helps vaporize fuel. It will help keep peak fuel flame temps.
It don't have too turn too hydrogen to make more power.
