Abstract

Loss of energy is generally transferred to the atmosphere on any physical, chemical or mechanical change by any process engine. On any mechanical engine that uses fuel, flue gas is emitted after combustion. This can be used as an input for generating electricity. The idea is that when the exhaust gas is made to hit the turbine placed near to it, tends to rotate. This rotational movement is converted into electric power by using direct current (DC) generator. The material for the turbine should be good enough to withstand the force, chemicals and heat emitted through the exhaust gas. To avoid slippages the turbine and the shaft should be fitted with appropriate couplings. The generated electricity is used to power the Day time Running Lights (DRL, which is mandatory according to Bharat Stage Emission Standards (BSES) – IV norms for all vehicles.
