An AMTEC Performance and Evaluation Analysis Model (APEAM) was developed to predict the performance of next-generation Pluto/Express, vapor-anode multitube cells. APEAM consists of three major submodels: an electrochemical and electrical model; a vapor pressure loss model; and a radiation/conduction model. An efficient iterative solution procedure was developed to couple the three submodels. Model results compared well with experimental data of PX-4C, PX-5A and PX-3A cells, that were tested at the Air Force Research Laboratory. Results showed that the reduced cell diameter and shorter BASE tubes of PX-3A significantly decreased the parasitic heat losses in the cell, as well as the heat losses through the side wall. At a hot side temperature of 1173 K, the cell's calculated peak conversion efficiency was 14.2% at an electrical power output of 4.6 We.
