FIELD: power engineering.
SUBSTANCE: energy cycle uses the gas-liquid solution as a fluid that is composed of several components which are in equilibrium in the liquid and gas phases. The first phase of the fluid expands at initial temperature and pressure to do a work and then cools down. The fluid expands and cools down until the temperature reaches that at which the fluid is separated into gas and liquid phases. The liquid phase is removed from the gas phase, and the phases are compressed individually. Subsequent to the compression, the liquid phase is heated and is mixed with the gas phase to generate a fluid at the initial temperature.
EFFECT: enhanced efficiency.
