ABSTRACT
Themethods ofmodeling of triode sources of electrons of a high-voltage glow discharge (HGD) with plate control electrode and conical anode have been stated. The proposed methods are based on iteration algorithmwhich permits determining thermodynamic parameters of free electrons in anode plasma with allowance for electrical parameters of themodel and electro-physical parameters ofmaterials used for electrodes and working gas. Modeling resulted in obtaining dependences of energy efficiency of the electron sources on accelerating voltage, burning voltage of a control bit and reduced pressure in the discharge gap. It has been established that the energy efficiency of electron sources of HGD with plate control electrode and conical anode is from 70 to 85%.
KEYWORDS
