Abstract

Nowadays, Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is used in most vehicles around the world as their system. ICE is one of the most inefficient systems for vehicles because most of the energy burned from the fuel is wasted to heat, mechanical and other losses. Either realizes or not, only 15 percent of the energy from the fuel is used to move the vehicles or run useful accessories. To recover the energy losses, Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) mechanism can be used. The mechanism recycles the wasted energy from the vehicle into power as electric current. Exhaust system of the vehicle play the important role in this mechanism, where the power produce for this mechanism is used the wasted heat from the exhaust. The exhaust will cover with good insulator to prevent the heat produced loss to the surrounding. The current produced can be stored in the battery. The electric energy also can be used as the source of energy for the hybrid vehicles. This project is considering the performance of the vehicle when equipped with the WHR system and not the power produced and its storage.
