To find those factors, we established thermoelectric equation in a cylindrical coordinate system. This paper shows that the maximum thermoelectric efficiency of a thermoelectric device is independent of its geometry but is dependent on its material parameters and boundary temperature. Given a certain current density, if the temperature difference changes, for example, if the temperature at the hot end rises, in structures of the same inner diameter, as the thickness increases, the thermoelectric efficiency first decreases and then increases. This theoretical analysis could provide guidance for designing cylindrical thermoelectric generators.","PeriodicalId":208819,"journal":{"name":"2019 14th Symposium on Piezoelectrcity, Acoustic Waves and Device Applications (SPAWDA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128658147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The micro-manipulation chip is built based on enhanced acoustic field which could tightly trap microparticles to the boundaries of microstructure by tuning the applied driving frequency and voltage. Experimental demonstrations illustrate that the capturing and operation of microparticles is closely related to the size of particles, due to the vibration-induced locally enhanced acoustic field and resultant propulsion force.

Because of the difference between acoustic parameters of skull and those of surrounding tissues, the image with the skull in the model is seriously distorted, which has imaging target positions shifted, low imaging brightness, low contrast and low resolution, comparing to the image without the skull in the model.

Using the finite element method (FEM), the optimization of electroacoustic parameters such as transmitting voltage response (TVR) is carried out. It is shown that the TVR of transducer could be improved effectively by adjusting the position of the beam and the material of the flexural beam and head mass, and the working bandwidth would also be expanded because the first order and second order modes could be coupled efficiently. The working modes of the optimized transducer are studied. The first and second resonance frequencies of the transducer are 1.1 kHz and 2.5 kHz respectively. The maximum TVR is greater than 125dB.
