Practical aspects of fundamental research in thermionic conversion. Progress report, July 1, 1972--August 31, 1973
Description:
During the reporting period a system was constructed for testing advanced cylindrical cesium-vapor thermionic converters with indirectly heated emitters. Initial testing of a cylindrical diode with a platinum-clad niobium emitter in pure cesium vapor showed that pulse enhancement could not be obtained with forward pulses as in previous inert gas planar diodes, but the expected enhancement was obtained for reverse pulses. During testing, the arc drop in the unpulsed igtited mode of this converte…
