The waste heat recovery for power generation from automotive exhaust using Thermal-electric Cell (TEC) / Wan Ahmad Shahril Zulkifli

Road vehicle has a good potential for producing renewable energy from waste heat. The internal combustion process to move the vehicles had indirectly releasing waste heat into the environment which contributed to global warming. Thermal-electric Cell (TEC) is a device that able to convert thermal en...

The experiment was run in two stages of cooling using air flow from standing fan and by attaching the cold water channel block on top of the TEC. Experimental results show that the highest voltage able to produce by the TEC was 2.42V in the range of temperature difference between 80°C and 85°C.

The performance of TEC is increased when the temperature difference between two sides is increased. Lastly, the conclusion has been made where the objectives of this project were achieved and the generated power could be utilized to extend the lifespan of the battery in the vehicle itself. 2017-07 Student Project NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/30475/1/30475.pdf Zulkifli, Wan Ahmad Shahril (2017) The waste heat recovery for power generation from automotive exhaust using Thermal-electric Cell (TEC) / Wan Ahmad Shahril Zulkifli.
