Experiments and Analysis on Thermoelectric Generators of Automotive Exhaust under the Multi-Field Coupling

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present experimental and analytic study reports a new thermoelectric generation (TEG) system, working with heat exchangers to produce electricity from a limited hot surface area. Results are obtained for generators using a coupling condition of heat-flow and flow-solid coupling analysis to obtain the temperature, heat, pressure field of heat exchanger. These fields couple together to solve the multi-field coupling of the flow, solid, heat, and then the simulation result is compared with the test bench experiment of TEG, providing a theoretical and experimental basis for the present new exhaust gas waste heat recovery system.
