Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was directed toward obtaining an improved understanding of the properties of the cesium neutralization plasma existing in ignited-mode thermionic converters. Toward this end an analysis was made of electron and ion transport phenomena based on conditions known to exist in thermionic converter plasmas. In support of this analysis, detailed measurements of electron density and temperature in the ignited-mode converter plasma were made using high resolution spectroscopic techniques. With this information, quantitative estimates were made of: the electric field intensity, the electron kinetic energy flux, the ion current density, and the charged particle production rate. On the basis of these results, an interpretation was made of the role played by the cesium neutralization plasma in determining converter performance. (Author).

Download or read book CESIUM PLASMA STUDIES FOR THERMIONIC ENERGY CONVERSION written by and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processes of thermalization of fast electrons injected into a plasma through a plasma sheath are investigated because such injection and thermalization are believed to occur in the plasma of the low voltage arc cesium plasma thermionic energy converter. The resistivity of highly ionized plasmas is investigated because it accounts for an important part of the internal voltage drop in thermionic energy converters, particularly when the internal resistive voltage drop is minimized by minimizing the effect of electron-neutral collisions. Unavoidable Coulomb collisions are then predominant, and the resultant plasma resistivity approaches that of a fully ionized plasma. Investigations on the probability of neutralization of cesium ions on hot tantalum are reported here as a by-product obtained in using the cesium plasma apparatus developed for the other experiments conducted in the course of this work.
