Abstract

According to the method, heat energy is applied to a working fluid in a reservoir 12 sufficient to convert the working fluid to a vapor and the working fluid is passed in vapor form to means 16 such as a generator for converting the energy therein to mechanical work. The working fluid is then recycled to the reservoir 12. In order to increase the efficiency of this process, a gaz (He) having a molecular weight no greater then the approximate molecular weight of the working fluid is added to the working fluid in the reservoir 12 and separated from the working fluid downstream from the reservoir.Fig.:10
