NASA/DOE Advanced Thermionic Technology Program. Progress report No. 31, January 1978
The status of plasma studies is discussed including converter theory, experimental plasma analysis, and enhanced mode conversion experiments. Optimized performance data for convertor No. 186 with an Inconel 671 emitter and nickel collector are presented. Status of hot shell development and the miniature flame-heated device is described. Also, results of a design study for thermionic topping of fossil fueled power plants are summarized. (WHK)
