Abstract
Flash processes have been investigated several times 1-4. This study focuses on the flash process taking place in a cyclone. The separated and extracted steam expands directly into a cylinder of a piston engine. In contrast to known flash expanders, the pressure drops continuously within a short time. Of special interest is the efficiency of phase separation which is critical to the feasibility of the piston process with internal flash evaporation.
