Review on Thermoelectrical Generator and Software Analysis of Exhaust System

Ritesh Kumar, Hemant Kumar Tandon

Abstract


In this century global warming is a very concerning issue. Vehicles are day-by-day increasing on roads, which emits harmful hot gases to environment. Due to exhaust gases and unwanted pollution TEG is a concept to utilize the heat energy of an engine for other works purposes. A major part of energy is being engaged in such issues. Here a study of conservation is being followed. TEG thermo-electric generator is a mechanical device which converts, heat energy into electrical energy. Here the device has been engaged into exhaust system for reuse of heat energy for further electrical parts of an automobile or a generator. However, for determining the surface heat convection, due to lack of available methods it is difficult to make accurate energy simulation and design. Here, in this study we will perform a software simulation for the performance checkup of the system. ANSYS Software will be used for simulation and modeling, under ANSYS software will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD Fluent) workbench as simulation analysis.

Keywords
