Abstract: The engine has a thermodynamic expander (21) for extracting work from a vaporised working fluid (22) that is fed to a feed for it. There is also a condenser (26) downstream of the expander for condensing expanded vaporised working fluid that is exhausting from the expander. A liquid tank (28) is downstream from the condenser, and pump means (29) is located downstream from the liquid tank for pumping out condensed working fluid (38). Further, there is a means for heating (50) and at least partially vaporising working fluid pumped to it from the pump and feeding the heated working fluid to the expander. The heating means itself has at least one inlet for the working fluid pumped to it, and at least one output from which the working fluid is fed to the expander.

Abstract: An end mill rotary cutting tool includes a shaft having an outer surface and a longitudinal axis and including a shank portion and a cutting portion. At least one helical cooling passage is formed in the shaft having a cooing hole in an axial distal end of the shaft. A plurality of helical flutes is formed in the shaft about the longitudinal axis. A plurality of helical cutting edges are formed at an interface with the outer surface and a respective helical flute. A plurality of end cutting edges are located on the axial distal end. The end cutting edges are contiguous with a corresponding one of the plurality of helical cutting edges, and form a blend radius at the transition between the end cutting edges and the helical cutting edges. At least two of the end cutting edges meet across the axial distal end to form a gash web.

At least one helical cooling passage is formed in the shaft having a cooing hole in an axial distal end of the shaft. A plurality of helical flutes is formed in the shaft about the longitudinal axis. A plurality of serrated helical cutting edges are formed at an interface with the outer surface and a respective helical flute. A plurality of end cutting edges are located on the axial distal end. The end cutting edges are contiguous with a corresponding one of the serrated helical cutting edges, and form a blend radius at the transition between the end cutting edges and the helical cutting edges. At least three of the end cutting edges meet across the axial distal end to form a gash web.
