Abstract

This study is conducted to analyse the behaviour of voltage generation and thermal gradient of car waste heat when various conditions are applied;which consists of windows,brushless fan,sunshade,roofed car park,and air-conditioned,enclosed cabin.The analysis of these behaviours is made possible by utilising a set of three thermoelectric generators (TEGs) in each condition.Aside from those conditions,external load resistances are also introduced to the TEGs set to achieve the second objective of this study.The duration set to achieve the first objective is one hour whereas the duration for the second objective is ten minutes.At the end of the first objective,it is found that air-conditioned,enclosed cabin has the highest thermal gradient and thus voltage generation for both day and night time.On the other hand, at the end of the second objective,the optimise value of load resistance to match with the internal resistance of the TEGs set is around 100 to 500 Ω.
