Abstract
Here is described a process to transform energy in chemical form in fuels into electric power through a thermal process. It combines advantages of the traditional internal combustion engine and the steam engine by producing supercritical combustion to allow direct mixture of combustion gases with additional working fluid to cool the mixture to operational conditions. The process allows the control of the inlet temperature of the turbine or expander and makes direct heat exchange by mixing working fluids. The combustion gases are completely used as working fluid in contrast to steam generator. The process improves the efficiency compared to combined cycle or traditional supercritical plants.
