Apparatus, system and method for utilizing thermal energy

A transonic two-phase reaction turbine, comprising:

• at least one rotor comprising a plurality of kinetic energy harvesters;
• wherein each kinetic energy harvester is disposed and configured to receive a first heat carrier or heat carriers under pressure into a first nozzle, and to receive a second heat carrier into a second nozzle, the second heat carrier being colder than the first heat carrier, the second nozzle being disposed downstream of the first nozzle at a defined distance based at least in part on a flow, pressure and temperature of the heat carrier or heat carriers;
• wherein each kinetic energy harvester comprises a mixing chamber between the first nozzle and the second nozzle configured to mix the first heat carrier and the second heat carrier to produce a two-phase mixture, the second nozzle being placed at the defined distance from the first nozzle for producing an elevated discharge thrust;
• wherein each mixing chamber is configured to cause a pressure drop and deceleration of the heat carriers of the two-phase mixture to a velocity at which the two-phase mixture or at least one of the first heat carrier or the second heat carrier, or both, boils into a homogeneous two-phase medium with small bubbles, being highly compressible medium and with sonic condition of Mach number of more than 1;
• wherein each second nozzle is configured to converge and compress the two-phase medium flow, collapsing the small bubbles and changing the two-phase mixture into a non-compressible single-phase flow medium having increased kinetic thrust;
• wherein each kinetic energy harvester further comprises a discharge section disposed downstream of the second nozzle, each discharge section being disposed and configured to discharge the single-phase flow medium having increased kinetic thrust to produce a reactionary pressure, higher than both input pressures of the first and second heat carriers, to drive the rotor in a rotational manner;
• wherein as a result each kinetic energy harvester produces thermal and kinetic energy.
