    Yes, super critical CO2 turbines can work in such a system. As can sterling engines. Or thermoelectric solid state couples.

    Any system that uses a temperature differential to generate power can be used. It’s just a matter of what you care about in a given situation. Upfront cost, mechanical reliability, noise/vibration, and availability of needed components play in to what makes the most sense.
