| description |
The thermoelectric effect allows the direct conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy without the need for moving parts and its applications are endless, with only the availability of a temperature gradient. Combustion vehicles generate energy losses of up to 62% and it is estimated that efficiency with thermoelectric generators can be increased by up to 8%. In this work we propose a system of waste heat from exhaust gases from the thermoelectric effect. A computational model was developed using the finite element method. Based on the simulations, a set of curves of electrical variables can be made as a function of temperature. There is a good correlation between the model and datasheet data. Based on the modeled system, it was possible to evaluate a generation system with the generation of up to 120W with 5.8% efficiency, representing an increase of up to 3% in overall efficiency.
