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 …

A major part of the heat supplied in an IC engine is not realized as work output, but dumped
into the atmosphere as waste heat. If this waste heat energy is tapped and converted into …
