A matrix in a rotating rotor prevents or inhibits formation of waves in a liquid ring. The matrix may be located in first and/or second channel sections defined by the rotor, liquid passing from the first to the second channel section; and a turbine may have a scoop removing liquid from the second section, proximate ends of barriers defined by the matrix. The matrix includes grooves between the barriers to communicate liquid generally parallel to an axis defined by the rotor. The grooves have end openings and may be closed in a direction toward that axis.

Vibration damping of rotor carrying liquid ring

In a system wherein a fluid exhibits a regressive vapor dome in a T-S diagram, the following are provided:

Power production with two-phase expansion through vapor dome

Reaction turbine and pump apparatus includes:

Fresh water production from power plant waste heat

An improved scoop is usable in combination with a wheel providing a rotating peripheral surface with an annular body of liquid supported on that surface and rotating with the wheel. The improvement comprises:

Scoop for removing fluid from rotating surface of two-phase reaction

Steam is produced from aqueous brine, by a process that employs hot fluid, nozzle means and rotary separator means. Process steps include:
