Technical Report · Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 EST 1983

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5046814· OSTI ID:5046814

The purpose of this contract was to (1) test and evaluate two of the more important engineering aspects of designing and building thermionic cogeneration burners (TCB's); (2) make a cost and performance estimate of the TCB; and identify and evaluate industries where TCB's could be installed and where that the electrical power (dc) produced by the TCB's would be used directly in the process. The results of the performance analysis are detailed.
