ABSTRACT:
In a process for recovering mechanical work in a heat engine there is used as a working medium in the heat engine a gas to which vapor is added having a H-value lower than the H-value of the gas, the gas being caused to absorb the condensation heat from the vapor by condensation of the vapor under essentially isothermal expansion. A heat engine for carrying out the process comprises; an isothermal compressor to which a liquid injection mechanism is connected; an isentropic compressor; an expansion machine to which a vapor generator is connected; and at least one additional expansion machine with liquid separator; said compressors and expansion machines being included in a closed circulation system for the gas serving as a working medium.
