Nonlinear modeling and simulation of waste energy harvesting system for hybrid engine: fuzzy logic approach

Fuel consumption could be cut significantly if waste heat energy of internal combustion engine (ICE) is harvested. Currently, ICEs lose their 42% of energy to exhaust and 28% of energy to the coolant. Several methods for waste thermal energy recovery from ICE have been studied by using supercharg...

This study presents the modeling and simulation of coolant based waste energy harvesting system (weHS). The supercharger compressed air gains heat during passing through the inner duct of the weHS while the coolant releases heat. The heated supercharged air is forced to the engine cylinders. The energy harvesting system performance is simulated by varying the supercharged air mass flow rate by keeping constant the coolant mass flow rate and vice versa.
