Abstract:This study aims at energy harvesting mufflers that utilize thermoelectric generators (TEG) to convert waste heat from the engine exhaust into electricity and simultaneously reduce engine noise. The recovered electricity can be used to power the auxiliary units in the automobile and can effectively improve the overall efficiency of the system. In this study, an automotive exhaust thermoelectric generator (AETEG) unit is fabricated to extract the waste exhaust heat from the engine. To further enhance the perform… Show more
