Abstract:

The report presents the result of work in a continuing program to investigate basic processes in thermionic energy conversion. It is primarily based on papers that were given at various thermionic conferences. The subjects discussed are transport implications of spectroscopic diode measurements, review of thermionic converter plasma physics, theory of the ignited mode with spatial temperature variation, and a theory of the ignited mode assuming uniform temperatures.
