Article Synopsis
- AgSbTe is a promising p-type thermoelectric material that has seen improvements focused on reducing lattice thermal conductivity, but its low power factor limits device performance.
- Recent research shows that doping AgSbTe with Sn creates a new impurity band, enhancing electrical properties and achieving a record-high power factor of 27 μWcmK and a peak thermoelectric figure of merit zT of 2.5 at 673 K.
- The improved performance is due to increased hole concentration and reduced bipolar conductivity, resulting in an efficient thermoelectric device with energy conversion efficiencies of 12.1% and a power density of 1.13 Wcm.
The aim of the present study is to explore heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a pulsating channel flow due to wall-mounted flexible flow modulators (FFM). Cold air in pulsating fashion is forced to enter through the channel having isothermally heated top and bottom walls with one/multiple FFMs mounted on them. The dynamic conditions of pulsating inflow are characterized by Reynolds number, non-dimensional pulsation frequency and amplitude.

It affects the maxilla and the mandible or both; however, maxilla is more commonly involved. This article reports the case of 33-month-old boy who came with the chief complaint of delayed eruption of mandibular teeth.
