Download or read book Thermionic Energy Conversion Diode Using a Film Boiling Liquid Metal Anode written by A. J. Ulrich and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional plasma thermocouple or thermionic energy conversion diode has a solid metal anode. Cesium vapor at a pressure of a few millibars or less is widely used to provide ions for electron space charge neutralization. Usually, conditions are such that a monolayer of cesium coats the anode, so that electrically the anode appears to be Cs. This suggests the use of a diode with a liquid metal anode material such as cesium, rubidium, or potassium, and their alloys. Recent experiments showed that a diode, consisting of a hot cathode and a liquid metal anode separated by the vapor film created in film boiling, can be produced. Data are given. Experiments investigating the electrical characteristics of film boiling using water are described.

Download or read book The Development of a Thermionic Converter Module Suitable for Liquid Metal Heating written by G. Y. Eastman and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effort was continued to improve performance and increase the reliability of thermionic energy converters for space applications. The particular objectives include optimization of geometry and ceramic insulation between emitters and heat source. This work will include the development of a thermionic generator module to develop 3.0 volts of potential from a liquid metal heat source. The overall concept of the 3-volt generator has been established. Before final design and fabrication of the generator, the more difficult problems are being solved by fabricating and testing prototype 3-converter modules. During this period, four 3-converter modules were assembled. A number of subassemblies were successfully tested and techniques for assembling a series of converters within a single envelope were perfected. A method of bonding the center heat source tubing has been tentatively selected and materials for detailed evaluation of the method have been ordered. Life testing of one Type A1198B converter was concluded after 1010 hours. Another converter of this type has since completed 600 hours of a life test with a constant output of 46 watts. (Author).
