Abstract
A flow of first working fluid (F1) is provided to a boiler (203) to produce (104) a flow of first working fluid vapor. A second working fluid (F2) in vaporous form is compressed (106), after which a third working fluid is formed by mixing (108) the first working fluid vapor and the second working fluid. Thermal energy is transferred (110) directly between the first and second working fluids in a mixing chamber (206) exclusive of any intervening structure. The third working fluid is expanded (112) to perform work, after which the first working fluid is extracted (114) as condensate, leaving a residual portion of the third working fluid. The cycle is repeated (116, 118, 120) using the condensate as the first working fluid and the residual portion as a constituent of the second working fluid.
