Abstract: A liquid ring turbine has a casing defining an interior chamber with a symmetry axis. A shaft, having an axis substantially parallel to the symmetry axis, is eccentrically positioned to the symmetry axis. An impeller is coupled to the shaft and is configured to rotate in a first direction. The impeller includes a plurality of vanes extending away from the shaft in a second direction at least partially opposite the first direction. The impeller rotates within a liquid ring enclosed in the casing such that a plurality of expansion chambers are defined. Each expansion chamber is defined between adjacent vanes and the liquid ring. A gas inlet port is in fluid communication with a first expansion chamber defining a first volume. A gas outlet port is in fluid communication with a second expansion chamber. The second expansion chamber defines a second volume that is greater than the first volume.

Abstract: A combustion system is presented. The combustion system includes a hollow combustion chamber having a chamber head, chamber sidewalls, and a chamber bottom. Further, the combustion system includes a fuel injector coupled to the combustion chamber and configured to introduce a plurality of fuel droplets in the combustion chamber. Moreover, the combustion system includes a first electrode and a second electrode disposed on or about the combustion chamber such that an electromagnetic field is generated between the first electrode and the second electrode in response to an applied electric signal, and where the electromagnetic field is configured to control a trajectory of the plurality of fuel droplets within the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A liquid ring fluid flow machine is presented. The machine includes a stationary annular housing having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a chamber that is arranged to receive a liquid. A rotor having a core and a plurality of radially extending vanes is eccentrically rotatably mounted within the chamber for directing the liquid into a recirculating liquid ring in proximity to the inner surface of the housing within the chamber. The inner surface of the housing that is in contact with the recirculating liquid ring is covered by a hydrophobic coating. The machine further includes a first supply pipe and a second supply pipe, each in fluid communication with the chamber.
