Abstract This article examines, in principle, the possibility of employing heated organic fluids as working fluids for tubines. The organic liquids considered for such applications are diphenyloxide, diphenyl, Dowtherm, etc. Heating takes place inside power-reactor circuits, with evaporation possible in the turbine nozzle. The vapors of these liquids become superheated in adiabatic expansion, although the vapor temperature drops in the process. As an example, we consider data on the thermodynamic cycle of a power reactor using Dowtherm as coolant medium.
