Thermal expansion and Thermal stress: Problem Solving

1.1K
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is exposed to temperatures ranging from -15 °C to 40 °C. At its coldest, the main span of the bridge is 1275 m long. Assuming that the bridge is made entirely of steel, what is the change in its length between these temperatures?
To solve the problem, first, identify the known and unknown quantities. The initial length (L) of the bridge is 1275 m, the coefficient of linear expansion (α) for steel is 12 x 10-6/°C, and the change in...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Physics
  • Thermoelectrics

Background:

  • Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) alloys are key thermoelectric materials for refrigeration and power generation.
  • Existing Bi2Te3 materials struggle to maintain optimal thermoelectric properties between 300-500 K.
  • Tailoring alloy composition is crucial for expanding thermoelectric applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of bismuth (Bi) content on the thermoelectric properties of BiSb2-Te3 alloys.
  • To identify the optimal Bi content for specific thermoelectric applications (refrigeration and power generation).
  • To determine the best application temperature range for various Bi compositions.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a series of BiSb2-Te3 alloys with varying Bi content using a simple preparation method.
  • Systematic investigation of thermoelectric properties, including carrier concentration and band gap modulation.
  • Evaluation of the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) across the 300-500 K temperature range.

Main Results:

  • Bismuth content significantly influences carrier concentration and band gap in BiSb2-Te3 alloys.
  • The alloy Bi0.3Sb1.7Te3 (Bi content = 0.3) achieved a maximum ZT of 1.14 at 400 K.
  • An average ZT of 1.06 was observed for Bi0.3Sb1.7Te3 between 300-500 K, indicating suitability for both refrigeration and power generation.

Conclusions:

  • BiSb2-Te3 alloys with Bi content < 0.3 are recommended for higher-temperature power generation.
  • BiSb2-Te3 alloys with Bi content > 0.3 are suitable for lower-temperature refrigeration.
  • This study provides guidance for optimizing Bi2Te3-based alloys for diverse thermoelectric applications.
