Scientific paper

Issues associated with the development of an alkali metal thermal-to-electric conversion (AMTEC) converter model that serves as an effective design tool were investigated. The requirements and performance prediction equations for the model were evaluated, and a modeling methodology was established. It was determined by defining the requirements and equations for the model and establishing a methodology that Thermal Desktop, a recently improved finite-difference software package, could be used to develop a model that serves as an effective design tool. Implementing the methodology within Thermal Desktop provides stability, high resolution, modular construction, easy-to-use interfaces, and modeling flexibility.
