As it follows from the last expression, in the<br />

event that C B<br />

= C B1<br />

, in order to obtain boiling<br />

water at the outlet <strong>of</strong> the heater, it is necessary<br />

to get the initial temperature <strong>of</strong> the water<br />

subjected to the mechanoactivation <strong>of</strong> about<br />

T 1<br />

= 66.5C. This coincides with the results<br />

given in [3], [4], [5].<br />

Thus, the described heat effects allow obtaining<br />

a rather considerable additional heat generation<br />

Q exc<br />

in the generator’s work chamber.<br />

However, the very fact <strong>of</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> additional<br />

heat Q exc<br />

does not mean that it can be used for a<br />

considerable increase <strong>of</strong> the generator’s heat<br />

productivity.<br />

In order to make sure <strong>of</strong> this, let us consider<br />

two contours <strong>of</strong> hydro-dynamic generators’<br />

operation: the first contour is with a closed<br />

circuit <strong>of</strong> the actuating body’s circulation and<br />

the second one is with an open circuit.<br />

In the first contour, heat generation Q exc<br />

during<br />

the water change from the stable lowtemperature<br />

state to the metastable hightemperature<br />

one happens without a change <strong>of</strong><br />

total energy content <strong>of</strong> a system<br />

“heatgenerator – circuit”. During this, a heat,<br />

which was temporarily produced in the contour<br />

by the water in the phase change, will be<br />

absorbed again within the limits <strong>of</strong> the same<br />

contour by the water, which spontaneously<br />

returns in its initial low-temperature state after<br />

the relaxation time has passed.<br />

It is obvious that, in this case, the heat, which<br />

was first produced and then absorbed, is a kind<br />

<strong>of</strong> virtual heat and cannot change the<br />

generator’s productivity in such a way that its<br />

efficiency exceeds one.<br />

The operation <strong>of</strong> the heatgenerator with the<br />

closed contour is explained on Fig. 5.<br />

The countour <strong>of</strong> the actuating body <strong>of</strong><br />

heatgenerator 1 circulation consists <strong>of</strong> force<br />

electric pump 2 and heat exchanger 3 connected<br />

by hydro-pipes.<br />

Using the pump, a water with temperature T 1<br />

is led to the inlet <strong>of</strong> the heatgenerator, heated<br />

there up to temperature T 2<br />

, and led to the heat<br />

exchanger where it is cooled up to temperature<br />

T 1<br />

, and then it is led to the inlet <strong>of</strong> the<br />

heatgenerator again through the pump.<br />

A heating efficiency <strong>of</strong> the generator during<br />

time τ, as a rule, is determined by temperature<br />

drop ∆Т = Т 2<br />

– Т 1<br />

in the heat exchanger and<br />

water consumption G in the contour:<br />

Q = k ∆Т G τ (5),<br />

where k is an aspect ratio.<br />

The efficiency <strong>of</strong> the heatgenerator’s operation,<br />

excluding heat diffusion in the hydro-pipes and<br />

elements 1 and 2 <strong>of</strong> the contour, is evaluated by<br />

ratio<br />

η = Q / U, (6)<br />

where U is an electric energy consumed by the<br />

pump during time τ.<br />

However, evaluation (6) can be reliable just<br />

in the event when all heat Q produced by the<br />

generator is led to the environment, for<br />

example, to the consumer.<br />

Actually, as it follows from (3), heat Q is a sum<br />

<strong>of</strong> two components: the first, Q exc<br />

, is caused by<br />

the exothermic water change while the second,<br />

finally, is obtained by electric energy<br />

transformation U into heat ∆Q, which is<br />

equivalent to it. Durng continuous heat<br />

production <strong>of</strong> the generator, the consumer can<br />

obtain only a part <strong>of</strong> the heat, which is obtained<br />

via heat excange, i.e. it is possible to get heat<br />

∆Q, and always ∆Q U.<br />

Another part <strong>of</strong> heat Q, heat Q exc<br />

, is caused by a<br />

temporary heat production because, on the<br />

expiry <strong>of</strong> relaxation time τ r<br />

, this part <strong>of</strong> the heat<br />

is absorbed by the water again and is unavailable<br />

for the consumer.<br />

Hence, temperature drop ∆T in the heat<br />

exchanger cannot be used as a representative<br />

informative parameter for the evaluation <strong>of</strong><br />

the heatgenerator’s efficiency according to<br />

the diagram on Fig. 5.<br />

The mentioned drop is caused by two reasons: first,<br />

by the water cooling during the heat emission and,<br />
