In recent years, energy harvesting from natural sources and waste heat has been attracting more attention from researchers in response to ever-growing energy demands, high energy prices, and climate-change-mitigation purposes. It is also an important step towards future sustainable energy usages. In thermal dynamic cycles, expanders are playing as the most important equipment for waste heat recovery and energy harvesting as well. As a kind of expander, the bladeless turbine has a promising future and more widely using owning its advantages on relatively long life, good off-design performance, easy operation cleaning and maintenance, a simple structure, no blade corrosion, and low manufacturing costs. There are numerous studies about using the Tesla Turbine as a key technology for energy harvesting in a wide range of applications and conditions. They are presented to help identify technologies that have sufficient potential for applicating to our life and marine industrial engineering. This review paper, initially, presents an overview of current studies both theoretical and experimental of Tesla Turbine usage for waste heat recovery alongside its challenges and investigation on the effect of its configuration, working fluid selection as well. To conclude, future perspectives besides possible ways of transforming waste heat energy to electricity or work, which leads to circular energy, are discussed. The ambition of this paper is to act as a first-hand reference, through the well-defined possible directions, to the young researchers and senior scientists.

Thermoelectric materials convert temperature difference to electric power for power generation and vice versa for refrigeration. Recent advances in enhancing the thermoelectric figure-of-merit shed light on efficient power generation from the waste heat available in industries and vehicles. Nanoscale phenomena with both nanoscale constituent-embedded bulk samples and nanoscale materials proving enhanced thermoelectric performance have been widely reviewed. Bulk materials of crystal-orientation and nano-structured particle embedding seem to promise a higher thermoelectric figure-of-merit and an effective power generation application. As a preliminary study, Si-Ge nanocomposite was prepared with spark plasma sintering method and its properties were examined.

An exhaust-heated gas turbine cycle equipped with a waste heat recovery boiler and ammonia absorption-type refrigerator using waste heat is newly devised and analyzed. The general performance of this cycle is compared with that of the conventional gas turbine cycle. This cycle shows a potential high efficiency. When 1500K of gas turbine inlet temperature the efficiency is 53 percent as compared to 45 percent for a conventional combined cycle. Suction cooling of this cycle leads to improve the thermal efficiency and the specific output.

The waste-heat-recovery boiler with water spray (HR-B/WS) applies the heat exchange between the inlet air and exhaust gas with the water spray into the inlet air. The evaporation of water in the inlet air promotes heat recovery from the exhaust gas so that thermal efficiency can be improved by the enhanced condensing effect. The NOx emission can also be reduced by lowering the flame temperature due to the dilution effect of the water. In this study, the validity of this concept is examined by the practical boiler test performed with a 24 kW condensing boiler under the full load condition according to the water injection amount. The theoretical amount of water injection is calculated under the assumption of full evaporation of the sprayed water, which is calculated as 50 g/min. Since the injected water cannot evaporate fully in the actual system, the maximum water spray amount is set as 100 g/min. The results showed that the water injection can increase the thermal efficiency up to 95.59% and reduce NOx and CO emissions simultaneously to 8.9 ppm and 35 ppm at 0% of O₂. Although the heat energy loss increased due to the unevaporated water, the increase in water injection amount caused higher thermal efficiency due to the increased amount of the evaporated water.

본 연구에서는 가솔린 엔진 자동차에서 엔진 폐열 회수를 위한 이중 회로 랭킨 사이클 성능 해석이 수행되었다. 고온(HT)의 엔진 배기가스 열회수를 위해서는 물을 사용하는 스팀사이클이 적용되었고, 엔진 냉각수열과 고온 사이클로부터의 응축열을 활용하는 저온(LT) 사이클은 R-134a를 사용하는 유기랭킨사이클이 적용되었다. 고온 및 저온 열원을 동시에 활용하는 이중 회로 시스템의 특성을 파악하기 위해 에너지 및 엑서지 분석이 수행되었다. 고온 및 저온 사이클에 사용되는 용적형 팽창기의 체적이 차량적용을 위한 시스템 최적화에 매우 중요하며 시스템 최적화를 위해서는 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 목표로 하는 엔진 운전 조건에서 고온(HT) 팽창기와 저온(LT) 팽창기의 체적을 고려하면서 고온(HT) 사이클의 팽창비와 저온(LT) 사이클의 응축온도가 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이중 회로 랭킨 사이클 시스템에 의해 목표 엔진 운전조건에서 엔진 폐열로부터 약 21%의 추가 동력을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 예측되었다.

This study measured the energy recovery rate of each municipal waste incineration facility according to the revised energy recovery rate estimation method, which targeted four municipal waste incineration facilities (Unit No. 7). The results calculated by the measuring instruments were used for each factor to estimate the recovery rate, and the available potential of available energy was examined by analyzing the energy production and valid consumption. As a result of the low heating value, 2,540 kcal/kg was calculated on average when the LHVw formula was applied, which is approximately 116 kcal/kg higher than the average design standard of 2,424 kcal/kg. The energy recovery rate was calculated as 96.9% on average based on production and 67.5% based on effective consumption, and the analysis shows that approximately 29.4% energy can be used.

About 70% of energy input to internal combustion engine is rejected to atmosphere by heat. By utilizing this waste heat, a plenty of energy can be conserved in nationwide. One of possible ways is the thermoelectric generation to utilize engine's waste heat to provide auxiliary electric power. Under th is concept, we have been developing the thermoelectric generation system to replace the alternator by converting the waste heat in the engine's exhaust directly to electricity This system may reduce the shaft horse power of the engine, then improves the vehicle fuel economy and the exhaust emissions. In the present study, the characteristics of the electric energy and exhaust heal energy in city and highway mode driving conditions are analysed by using a gasoline passenger car. These results would be used to determine the optimum design parameters of the thermoelectric generation system.

A novel design process of a parallel multi-flow type air-cooled condenser of a dual-loop waste heat recovery system with Rankine steam cycles for improving the fuel efficiency of gasoline automobiles has been investigated focusing on reduction of the pressure drop inside the micro-tubes. The low temperature condenser plays a role to dissipate heat from the system by condensing the low temperature loop working fluid sufficiently. However, the refrigerant has low evaporation temperature enough to recover the waste from engine coolant of about $100^{\circ}C$ but has small saturation enthalpy so that excessive mass flow rate of the LT working fluid, e.g., over 150 g/s, causes enormously large pressure drop of the working fluid to maintain the heat dissipation performance of more than 20 kW. This paper has dealt with the scheme to design the low temperature condenser that has reduced pressure drop while ensuring the required thermal performance. The number of pass, the arrangement of the tubes of each pass, and the positions of the inlet and outlet ports on the header are most critical parameters affecting the flow uniformity through all the tubes of the condenser. For the purpose of the performance predictions and the parametric study for the LT condenser, we have developed a 1-dimensional user-friendly performance prediction program that calculates feasibly the phase change of the working fluid in the tubes. An example is presented through the proposed design process and compared with an experiment.
