DOE/JPL advanced thermionic technology program. Progress report No. 32, February--March 1978
Optimized performance data for converter No. 183 with a L605 alloy emitter and a nickel collector are presented for emitter temperatures of 1300, 1400, and 1500 K. The L605 work function is plotted versus the ratio of emitter temperature to cesium reservoir temperature. Progress on the combustion-heated thermionic device and hot shell development are reported. The design of the guarded triode converter with a ring electrode is described. A diagram of the variable-spaced hybrid converter is included. (WHK)
