Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of thermodynamic systems, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a closed thermodynamic system including a steam turbine that operates an electric generator, which can produce substantially more electrical power than the electricity power that is operationally consumed by the system.
- a steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam, and converts the thermal energy into useful kinetic energy.
- thermodynamic steam engines are typically operated by fuel that is burnt to operate engines, such as various vehicle engines, electrical generators and the like.
- Figure 1 illustrates an aircraft steam powered engine 20 developed Bill and George Besler and first flown in 1933. The steam engine operated a turbine with heated steam of about 425°C and in turn, the turbine operated the engine.
- the turbine Since a turbine generates rotary motion, the turbine is particularly suited for driving an electrical generator - about 86% of all the electricity generation in the world is produced by use of steam turbines.
- the steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of the improvement in the thermodynamic efficiency from the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam.
- the temperature in the chamber will constantly increase.
- the chamber contains gas, for example steam
- the steam molecules tend to expand in volume and thereby the pressure in the chamber also increases constantly.
- thermodynamic equilibrium when the system is in thermal equilibrium, mechanical equilibrium, and chemical equilibrium.
- the local state of a system at thermodynamic equilibrium is determined by the values of the intensive parameters, such as pressure, temperature, etc.
- thermodynamic equilibrium is characterized by the minimum of a thermodynamic potential, such as the Helmholtz free energy, i.e. systems at constant temperature and volume:
- A U - TS 5
- A the Helmholtz free energy
- U the internal energy of the system
- T the absolute temperature
- S the entropy
- G the Gibbs free energy, i.e. systems at constant pressure and temperature: G - H - TS, where T is the temperature, S is the entropy and H is the enthalpy.
- Thermal equilibrium is achieved when two systems, being in thermal contact with each other, cease to exchange energy by heat. If the two systems are in thermal equilibrium, the temperatures of the two systems are the same. In a thermal equilibrium state, there are no unbalanced potentials (or driving forces) within the system. A system that is in thermal equilibrium, experiences no changes when the system is isolated from the surroundings of the system.
- thermodynamic system that is designated to produce electricity and that has the capacity to supply electric power which is substantially higher than the power that the system operatively consumes.
- thermodynamic system including a steam turbine that operates an electric generator, which can supply electric power that is substantially higher than the power that the closed thermodynamic system operatively consumes.

- the liquid is heated up and accrues higher pressure while flowing inside an elongated pipe through the heat exchange unit, exchanging heat with the hot steam arriving from the turbine.
- the higher temperature typically converts the liquid into steam and the higher pressure increases the liquid flow rate as the steam flows further into the water circulation heater.
- the water circulation heater heats up the arriving liquid/steam that flows in from the heat exchange unit, thereby converting the liquid/steam into high pressure steam.
- the attained pressure is predesigned, to achieve a pre-designed rotational speed of the turbine.
- the high pressure steam is directed towards designated elements of the turbine at a pre-designed angle with respect to the designated elements of the turbine.
- the steam turbine converts the thermal energy stored in the high pressure steam to kinetic energy that operationally rotates the turbine about the rotational axis of the turbine.
- the rotating turbine rotates the electric generator, being affixed onto the rotational axis of the turbine and thereby, the electric generator produces electric energy.
- the steam flows back into the heat exchange unit, which reduces the steam temperature, while exchanging heat with the cooler liquid flowing inside the pipes disposed inside the heat exchange unit.
- the cooler steam/liquid then flows into the water cooling sub-system, which reduces the temperature of the liquid, flowing from the heat exchange unit, to about ambient temperature.
- the water cooling sub-system includes: a) a condenser; b) a liquid tank; and c) a water cooling unit.
- the water pump supplies some cold liquid to the condenser to accelerate the condensing process.
- the liquid is accumulated in a water tank and from the water tank, the liquid flows into the water cooling unit, which reduces the temperature of the liquid, flowing from the heat exchange unit, to about ambient temperature.
