The mist-lift OTEC cycle

Energy, 1980, vol. 5, issue 6, 511-524

Abstract: The thermodynamics and implementation of the mist-lift concept for the generation of power from thermal gradients in warm oceans are analyzed. The main feature of this concept is that it permits an open cycle to operate on the ambient sea-water using state-of-the-art hydraulic turbines. An experimental facility being completed at UCLA is briefly described.
