Excerpt

Production of energy for daily use involves conversion of energy from one form to another. Successful power generation techniques are those that make use of inexpensive energy sources and that utilize efficient conversions. Chemical potential is a unique source of energy that under certain conditions can be converted to useful energy. One example is the conversion of salinity gradient to pressure and from pressure to kinetic energy in a turbo-generator [1, 2]. …
