Energy can be converted into a useful form by letting miscible fluids of different compositions mix with each other. A major natural source for such a process is the earth s river and ocean water resources. For example, mixing 1 m3/s of river water and 1 m3/s of ocean water could theoretically supply 1.6 MW of power. This process of mixing river and ocean water would provide renewable, permanent, and practically waste-free power production. An alternative source is provided by concentrated industrial brines. Despite the great potential, energy conversion from mixing species is not yet an econo...
