The country has substantial hydro-electric power resources. During the British period Mr. J. M. Myres had made a guess estimate of a minimum potential of 3.5 million Kw. and a maximum of 8 million Kw. But this was rather an incomplete and under-estimate. The economically exploitable hydro-power potential of the country has been assessed by the Central Water and Power [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of electro gas dynamic generator with the help of a schematic diagram. Also learn about the advantages of electro gas dynamic generator over MHD systems. 'Carona electrode' at the entrance of the duct generates electrons. This ionised gas particles are carried down the duct with the neutral atoms and the [...]
In this article we will discuss about the construction and working of thermionic generator with the help of a suitable diagram. i. A thermionic converter/generator comprises a heated cathode (electron emitter) and an anode (electron collector) separated by 'vacuum', the electrical output circuit being connected between the two as shown in the Fig. 9.7. ii. The heat which is [...]
