With the current emphasis on electrified vehicles, the use of internal combustion engines
(ICEs) as the main propulsion source is challenged, especially for passenger cars. Even …

Approximately a third of the fuel energy in internal combustion engines is wasted through
the exhaust gas. Thermoelectric generators have been employed in automotive engines to …

Automotive vehicles with internal combustion engines, such as conventional gasoline and
electric hybrid vehicles, exhibit inherent irreversibilities that hinder them from achieving high …

The waste heat recovery performance of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) was
experimentally investigated. Forty customized thermoelectric modules (TEMs) were installed …

Efficiency of internal combustion engines can be improved indirectly using a waste heat
recovery system. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are employed to convert thermal energy …

The best possible thermal and mechanical energy management is necessary to have more
efficient and less pollutant means of transport. This can be accomplished recovering part of …

Only a part of the energy released from the fuel during combustion is converted to useful
work in an engine. The remaining energy is wasted and the exhaust stream is a dominant …

The internal combustion engine (ICE) does not efficiently convert chemical energy into
mechanical energy. A majority of this energy is dissipated as heat in the exhaust and …

The potential for thermoelectric power generation (via waste heat recovery onboard
automobiles) to displace alternators and/or provide additional charging to a vehicle battery …

Thermoelectric devices are being investigated as a means of improving fuel economy for
diesel and gasoline vehicles through the conversion of wasted fuel energy, in the form of …
