A thermoelectric effect is a physical phenomenon consisting of the direct conversion of heat
into electrical energy (Seebeck effect) or inversely from electrical current into heat (Peltier …

Thermoelectric power generation (TEG) represents one of the cleanest methods of energy
conversion available today. It can be used in applications ranging from the harvesting of …

The automobile has become an integral part of the modern life. It, however, also triggers off
a string of problems such as energy shortage and environmental pollution. As a static power …

In the recent era of development, energy consumption increased many folds. While tapping
this energy from various resources, almost half of this energy is dumped back into the …

Internal combustion (IC) engines are the major source of motive power in the world, a fact
that is expected to continue well into this century. To increase the total efficiency and reduce …

An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system used in the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)
exhaust heat recovery was proposed and techno-economically analyzed based on various …
