,•Direct energy conversion direct energy conversion mea
converting heat directly to electricity by eliminating the link process
producing mechanical energy via steam or gas. Major direct energy
conversion devices are magneto hydrodynamic, thermionic
thermoelectric generators and fuel cells.

, Thermionic energy conversion
• Thermionic energy conversion is a process by which thermal energ
can be transformed into usable electricity.
