电极间气体对热离子能量转换器性能的影响(国外英文资料) The effect of gas between electrodes on the performance of the heat ion energy converter 1 the introduction Thermionic space nuclear power fission is the nuclear reactors of thermal energy into electrical energy directly by thermionic energy converter device, with the traditional spacecraft power supply, for example, chemical power supply, the solar cell array - joint battery power supply, isotope power, compared with its small size, light weight, than big power, no moving parts, the external environment impact is small, the cooling system is simple, long life and other characteristics for deep space exploration, space weapons, and other fields of a new generation of space power, by the United States and the former Soviet union, space technology is relatively developed countries, has a broad application prospect. Thermionic energy converter is one of the core parts of thermionic nuclear power supply. Escape in thermionic energy converter, the electron energy on the surface of the emitter is very small, only when the distance between the emitter and the receive very very small, most of the electron can be received. Otherwise, the electrons will gather near the surface of the emitter, creating a space charge that prevents the transmitter from reaching the pole. Therefore, in order to eliminate the space charge effect, cesium vapor is usually charged between the emitter and the receiving pole. Thermionic energy converter under the running condition of high temperature, oxygen and other contaminants (water vapor and cesium oxide) during degassing and easily during the running of converter into the gap between electrodes, increasing electrode gap between oxygen partial pressure, so the thermionic energy converter of trace oxygen electrode space generally exist. The effects of cesium, oxygen and cesium oxides on the properties of thermal ion energy converters will be analyzed in this paper. Cesium influences the performance of thermal ion nucl
