Study of the Rarefied Sodium Vapor Flow in the Pluto Fast Flyby AMTEC Cell

摘要: A Monte Carlo simulation model was developed to the rarefied sodium vapor flow in alkali metal thermoelectric converter (AMTEC) cell being for Pluto Fast Flyby mission. The predicts a linear relationship of beta‐alumina solid electrolyte (BASE) pressure with respect current density. pressure/current density from this can be readily applied overpotential equation analytical and design purposes. AMTEC cells different geometrical configuration.
