HIGH-TEMPERATURE VAPOR-FILLED THERMIONIC CONVERTER

Abstract

Research covers the work done on a bench test of an unclad thermionic converter. The objective is to produce an efficient, high-power-density, long-life thermionic power converter using a uranium-zirconium-carbide emitter and a high-temperature nickel collector. (Author)
