Thermodynamic conversion process comporting a stage of chemical dissociation by radiolysis

Description

Process for thermodynamic conversion by heating a working fluid at high pressure so that its temperature rises to a high figure, and extracting the heat from the working fluid at low pressure. The heating of the working fluid includes a first stage, of chemical dissociation of at least some of this fluid by radiolysis at a temperature under the thermal balance temperature of the dissociated fluid so that it is in a state of macroscopic thermal imbalance, and a second chemical reaction stage of the dissociated constituants of the working fluid so that they recombine with simultaneous heating of the working fluid

Abstract (French)

Procede de conversion thermodynamique par chauffage d'un fluide de travail a pression elevee, afin que sa temperature atteigne une valeur elevee, et l'extraction de chaleur du fluide de travail a pression reduite. Le chauffage du fluide de travail comprend une premiere etape de dissociation chimique d'une partie au moins de ce fluide par radiolyse a une temperature inferieure a la temperature d'equilibre thermique du fluide dissocie si bien que ce dernier est a un etat de desequilibre thermique macroscopique, et une seconde etape de reaction chimique des constituants dissocies du fluide de travail afin qu'ils se recombinent avec echauffement simultane du fluide de travail
