| 摘要 |
A method and apparatus for converting heat energy into mechanical energy using a regenerative rankine cycle. The apparatus comprises a housing (12) defining a cavity (14) wherein a rotor (16) is located having a plurality of outlet nozzles (18), from which a two-phase fluid mixture is expellable. A vapour passage (20) allows for vapour flow and a liquid passage (22) allows for liquid flow. The two-phase contact, occurring in the reaction two- phase nozzles, facilitates direct contact heat exchange between the vapour and the liquid whilst generating power. The apparatus (10) further comprises a spiral chamber (24), an exit diffuser (44), a recirculating passage (26), a liquid jet dispenser (32) which are all stationary and a plurality of blades (28) rotating with the rotor.
