RESEARCH ON NEW CONCEPTS IN ENERGY CONVERSION.
Abstract
Brief summaries are given of progress on the following projects: Liquid-metal pumps for magnetohydrodynamic power generation; Liquid-metal magnetohydrodynamic generators; Alkali-metal vapor magnetohydrodynamic generator; Segmented-electrode generator experiment; Thermionic emission from a tungsten crystal; Bonding mechanisms of alkali-metal atoms adsorbed on metal surfaces; Volume ionization mechanisms and transport properties of thermionic diodes; Collisionless thermionic converters. Also included are the following detailed reports: Steam-water condensing ejector test facility; Magnetohydrodynamic channel flow velocity profiles and entry length; Thermionic emission from a tungsten monocrystal in oxygen; Characteristics of a pure alkalimetal vapor plasma; Brayton cycle magnetohydrodynamic power generation.
