Bland/ewing cycles for CHP and CC processes

A method for performing a closed thermochemical and thermodynamic (chemo/thermodynamic) work-producing cycle comprising two independent open chemo/thermodynamic work-producing cycles, the two open chemo/thermodynamic work-producing cycles comprising a first heat engine cycle that chemically or endothermically absorbs heat in a reactant such that said reactant is converted to a product mix, and a second heat engine cycle that chemically or exothermically releases heat from a product to create a reactant mix, the method comprising:

• a. increasing, from a first storage system, a first purified non-gaseous reactant to a set pressure;
• b. preheating, with a first heat source, said pressurized first non-gaseous reactant to its point of conversion to a pressurized first gaseous reactant;
• c. completely gasifying, with a second heat source, said preheated and pressurized first non-gaseous reactant to make said pressurized first gaseous reactant;
• d. preheating, with a fourth heat source, said pressurized first gaseous reactant to the temperature of an endothermic thermochemical reaction chamber;
• e. passing said preheated and pressurized first gaseous reactant into said endothermic thermochemical reaction chamber;
• f. stimulating, with a fourth heat source, said preheated and pressurized first gaseous reactant within said thermochemical reaction chamber to cause the preheated and pressurized first gaseous reactant to chemically absorb heat during a process of changing said preheated and pressurized mix first gaseous reactant into a first gaseous product mix;
• g. expanding, with a first work-producing expander, said first gaseous product mix to a lower pressure and temperature;
• h. cooling, with a first cooler, said expanded first gaseous product mix just prior to the point where said expanded first gaseous product mix separates into a second gaseous product mix and a first non-gaseous product mix;
• i. cooling, with a second cooler, said first expanded gaseous product mix past the point where said first expanded gaseous product mix separates into said second gaseous product mix and said first non-gaseous product mix;
• j. storing said second gaseous product mix and said first non-gaseous product mix in a second storage system;
• k. physically transferring and/or storing for a set time period said second gaseous product mix and said first non-gaseous product mix for use in said second heat engine cycle;
• l. increasing, to a set pressure, at least part of;
• p1 a purified first non-gaseous product from said second storage system;
• m. preheating, with a fifth heat source, said pressurized first non-gaseous product to its point of conversion into a third gaseous product;
• n. completely gasifying, with a sixth heat source, said preheated and pressurized first non-gaseous product to convert it into said third gaseous product;
• o. increasing, to the pressure of said third gaseous product, at least part of a purified second gaseous product from said second storage;
• p. matching, with a seventh heat source, the temperature of said pressurized second gaseous product to the temperature of said third gaseous product;
• g. mixing, with a first mixer, said second gaseous product and said pressurized third gaseous product to make a pressurized combined gaseous product mix;
• r. preheating, with an eighth heat source, said pressurized combined gaseous product mix to the temperature of an exothermic thermochemical reaction chamber;
• s. passing said pressurized and preheated combined gaseous product mix into said exothermic thermochemical reaction chamber;
• t. stimulating, with a chemical heat releaser, said pressurized and preheated combined gaseous product mix to cause said pressurized and preheated combined gaseous product mix to chemically release heat within said exothermic thermochemical reaction chamber during a process of changing said pressurized and preheated combined gaseous product mix into a second gaseous reactant mix, where said chemically released heat is used to power a heat engine;
• u. expanding, with a second work-producing expander, said second gaseous reactant mix;
• v. exhausting and cooling, with a third cooler, said expanded second gaseous reactant mix to the point where said expanded second gaseous reactant mix separates into a third gaseous reactant mix and a first non-gaseous reactant mix;
• w. storing, in a third storage system, said third gaseous reactant mix and said first non-gaseous reactant mix;
• and
• x. physically transferring and/or storing for a set time said stored third gaseous reactant mix and said first non-gaseous reactant mix for use in said first heat engine cycle.
