Abstract
IMO (International Maritime Organization) in the UN (United Nations) set up that aim at reducing $CO_2$ emission from ship by up to 30 percent until 2030. The final purpose of this study is the development of marine thermoelectric generation system using waste heat from vessel of internal combustion engines. Before the development of marine thermoelectric generation system, this paper carried out the fundamental heat analysis of marine thermoelectric generation system. It was able to obtain the valuable results about the efficiency improvement of the thermoelectric generation system. The results is as follows : 1) It was confirmed that the efficiency of thermoelectric generation system improves to 8.917 % with increasing the temperature difference of peltier module by reducing the temperature difference between peltier module and heat source at the hot side. 2) System efficiency according to change in the external load resistance was confirmed that the change width of about 6 % which does not significantly occur. 3) System efficiency in the case stainless steel at the same condition is 8.707 %. System efficiency could be confirmed that the stainless steel is higher than duralumin (8.605 %), copper (8.607 %).
