Description
In this continuation of his previous article, the author considers an 'adiabatic steam separator', in which saturated steam is dried and heated by adiabatic expansion, separation of water, and adiabatic deceleration. He considers that such a process might have an application in nuclear power generation. As to his suggestion that such a process may violate the second law of thermodynamics because the process was not envisioned by Carnot, obviously the validity of the second law is not limited to Carnot's original statement of it
