Abstract

The present invention exploits the differences in heat capacities of working fluids to address the problem of low efficiency and low power density of energy cycles for the production of power. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods of injecting a heat transfer fluid into a high pressure working fluid for the purpose of capturing and/or harnessing the energy of condensation resulting from constant volume heating and converting that energy into work to power other machines and systems.
