Numerical and experimental analysis for exhaust heat exchangers in automobile thermoelectric generators

Ideal heat exchangers recover as much heat as possible from an engine exhaust at the cost of an acceptable pressure drop. They provide primary heat for a thermoelectric generator (TEG), and their capacity and efficiency is dependent on the material, shape, and type of the heat exchanger. Six differe...
