BASIC RESEARCH IN THERMIONIC ENERGY CONVERSION.

Abstract

This report presents the results of the past year's work in a continuing program to investigate basic processes in thermionic energy conversion important to a thermionic nuclear power plant for naval applications. The previous work was reported in AI-6799, First Summary Report on Basic Research in Thermionic Conversion Processes, and AI-7979, Second Annual Technical Summary Report for Basic Research in Thermionic Energy Conversion. The subjects discussed in the present report are: Electron-Rich, Unignited Mode, Ion-Rich, Unignited Mode, Transport and Relaxation Parameters, Statistical Mechanics of Cesium Adsorption, Guard Ring Diode and Preliminary Results.
