Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computational procedure for calculating the C-V characteristic, the plasma arc-drop and other important parameters for a cesium vapor thermionic energy converter has been developed. The original theory dealing with the constant electron temperature has been extended to treat the problem for the variable electron temperature. Comparison between the two cases shows that the C-V characteristic moves generally toward the left as the electron thermal conductivity decreases, but the magnitude of ths degradation appears small.

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 23 (thesis year 1978) a total of 10,148 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 220 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 23 reports these submitted in 1978, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
Download or read book Thrive A Digital Computer Program for the Calculation of Thermionic Converter Performance Characteristics written by R. J. McCandless and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents THRIVE - a digital computer program for computing thermionic converter performance characteristics. THRIVE computes converter output voltage, efficiency and plasma property profiles from the converter operating point specified by the electrode temperatures, cesium reservoir temperature, interelectrode spacing and current density. The computation is performed by numerically integrating a set of plasma transport differential equations which describe a low energy, three component, two temperature plasma in one dimensional planar geometry. The transport equations recognize variable electron current, electron temperature, electron kinetic energy flux, ion current, charged particle density and electrostatic potential in the quasineutral plasma. Volume ionization-recombination processes and collisional phenomena are represented. A set of boundary conditions is employed which recognizes the electrostatic sheaths adjacent to the electrodes and is consistent with the transport equations. Schottky effects at the electrode surfaces are accounted for. The electrode surfaces are characterized by field free cesiated work functions which may be derived from experimental data. The THRIVE program has been used to generate theoretical thermionic converter current-voltage characteristics that show excellent agreement with experimental data. (Author).
