基本解釋

Helium may also prove crucial as a working fluid or even a fuel in future nuclear reactors.
未來，氦作爲核反應(yīng)堆的工質(zhì)甚至燃料，也是必不可少的。
The heat from the water is transferred to a working fluid, which boils at a low temperature, which spins a turbine to create electricity.
水中的熱量轉(zhuǎn)化爲低溫沸騰的工作流躰推動渦輪機産生電力。
But there are materials that can directly convert heat into electricity without running some working fluid through a traditional generator.
而現(xiàn)在有種材料，無需工作流躰通過傳統(tǒng)發(fā)電機就可以直接將熱能轉(zhuǎn)化爲電能。

The main difference between the thermoacoustic system and Stirling's original idea is that, instead of using thermal expansion of the working fluid to push the piston, it uses powerful pulses of sound.
