Abstract

A process of generating electricity from a thermal energy source includes selecting a predetermined primary fluid having: a latent heat greater than a latent heat of water at a phase change from liquid to gas; and a specific heat capacity less than a specific heat capacity of water in a liquid phase and in a gas phase; and selecting a predetermined secondary fluid having: a latent heat less than a latent heat of water at a phase change from liquid, to gas; and: a specific heat capacity less than a specific heat capacity of water in a liquid phase and in a gas phase. The process includes the primary fluid absorbing thermal energy from the thermal energy source; exchanging the thermal energy of the primary fluid with the secondary fluid: driving a turbine via the secondary fluid; and driving an electricity generator by the turbine to generate electricity.
