Abstract

This paper presents the investigation of power generation using the mixture of heat and thermo-electric generators. A majority of thermal energy within the industry is dissipated as waste heat to the environment. This waste heat is often utilized further for power generation. The related problems of world warming and dwindling fuel supplies have led to improving the efficiency of any process being a priority. One method to reinforce the efficiency is to develop methods to utilize waste heat that is usually wasted. Two promising technologies that were found to be useful for this purpose were thermoelectric generators and heat pipes. Therefore, this project involved making a bench type, proof of concept model of power production by thermoelectric generators using heat pipes and simulated hot air.
