Development of the Thermionic Energy Conversion Method

Valery PTITSIN

Abstract


New method of a thermal energy—to electrical energy conversion in vacuum devices with the metal (W)—dielectric nanofilm (ZrO2) electron source is offered and studied. According to estimates and results of modeling, the energy effectiveness (ðœ’) of the proposed method may exceed 𜒠of the known thermionic energy conversion method to 2-3 orders of magnitude.
