Some problems involved in the development of a solar thermionic power plant
Abstract
Apparatus is described for testing thermionic converters in laboratories or in the presence of solar radiation. Experiments involving high-temperature steady-state systems are explained. Volt-ampere characteristics, the effect of cathode temperature, the relation between incident and converted energy, and the effect of the reflection coefficient of the mirror were studied.
