| 内容記述 | Results are presented for experimental and analytical investigations of the overall performance of a selenide radioisotope thermoelectric generator intended to provide the electrical power for interplanetary spaceprobes such as the Galileo mission to Jupiter. The discussion focuses on technology areas of concern, electrical properties of the selenide thermoelectric materials used, and thermal conductivity of these materials for superior performance. It is shown that the selenide thermoelectric materials offer the advantage of high conversion efficiency. The long-life requirement on the power system for the Galileo mission necessitates proper design, known fabrication techniques, and reproducible assembly techniques in order to ensure stability of the thermoelectric properties. However, the thermophysical properties - sublimation and creep - of the p-material remains an area of considerable concern. |
