Abstract |
Temperature distribution was measured along the exhaust pipe of an old car model at different car speeds and two loads at both cases of insulation and non-insulation of the exhaust pipe. Measured data are used to investigate the possibility to utilize thermoelectric devices to produce voltage based on Seebeck effect principle. Calculations are performed for two different thermoelectric materials, loads and different car speeds at both cases of insulating and non-insulating of the exhaust pipe. Results indicated that insulation of the exhaust pipe remarkably increased the produced voltage. Keywords - Old car, waste heat, thermoelectric materials, Seebeck effect. | |||||||||
