POWER GEN-UTILIZING WASTE POWER

Dr. Vijay Kumar, Karan Bhatia, Nabi Sarkar

Abstract :

 

The thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a device for directly converting thermal energy into electrical energy based on the Seebeck effect and it has presented urgent potential in the case of waste heat recovery. The TEGs have many advantages such as no moving mechanical parts, long-lived, quiet, environmentally friendly and requiring little maintenance. As a significant cause for the fuel crisis and environmental pollution, the internal combustion engine (ICE) drives vehicles with only 30% of the total heat generated by the gasoline used. During this process, the other 40% of the heat is lost through waste gas exhaust and 30% by the coolant. The TEG using automobile waste exhaust as heat source is believed a new way to reduce ICE loads as well as the alternator and then decrease fuel consumption and environmental pollution.
