Abstract

With the rapid development of population and vehicle industry in the world
during the past 20th century, the demand on passenger vehicles has increased sharply.
Only 41% of a diesel engine’s fuel combustion energy is converted into useful work to
drive a vehicle and its accessory loads. The remainder is waste heat dissipated by
engine exhaust system and also the convection as well as radiation heat loss from
engine block. This increases fuel consumption which brings serious energy crisis and
has environmental effects. As 30% to 40% of exhaust gases containing heat energy
liberated from the internal combustion engine, and having temperature up to 200 C to
250 C are wasted directly to the atmosphere. So the objective of the work is to utilize
that heat energy of internal combustion engine. By utilizing that heat energy of fuel
which is consumed in the internal combustion engine can be reduced which increases
efficiency of internal combustion engine. The work is to design a duct that can be
modified in order to increase the heat transfer so that maximum heat can be dissipated
to hot side of TEG module. Further fins can be used in the design of the duct, which will
increase heat transfer also.
