Combustion Heated Thermionic Systems

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Thermionic cogeneration is developing as a new energy conservation option. The characteristics of thermionic systems using combustion of natural gas as heat source are studied. The - until now unused - high temperature potential of fuels can be applied in order to extract work using the high temperature thermionic ...
