Abstract:
Automotive engines eliminate a considerable amount of heat energy to the environment through the exhaust gas. Significant reduction of engine fuel consumption could be attained by recovering of exhaust heat by using thermoelectric generators. One of the most important issues is to develop an efficient heat exchanger which provides optimal recovery of heat from exhaust gases. The work presents a design and performance measurements of a prototype thermoelectric generator mounted on self-ignition (Diesel) engine. Using the prototype generator as a tool, benchmark studies were performed for improvements in the heat exchanger including determination of temperature distribution and heat flux density.
