Abstract: The demand for passenger vehicles has grown significantly over the past 20 years due to the world's population growth and the vehicle industry's rapid expansion. The energy used to burn fuel in a diesel engine is only 41 % turned into work that is useful for moving a car and its supplementary loads. The remaining heat is lost by radiation and convection from the engine block, as well as waste heat released by the exhaust system of the engine. This leads to a severe energy crisis and has an impact on the environment by increasing fuel usage. As much as 30 to 40% of exhaust gases with thermal energy released from internal combustion engines, reaching temperatures of 200 to 250 degrees Celsius, are released straight into the atmosphere. Utilizing the heat energy produced by an internal combustion engine is the project's objective. By doing so, the amount of fuel heat energy that is used by the internal combustion engine can be decreased, increasing the engine's efficiency. The task is to create a duct that can be altered to improve heat transfer and dissipate as much heat as possible to the TEG module's hot side. Additional fins can be incorporated into the duct's design to further enhance heat transfer.
