dc.description.abstractAbstract : The importance of this study is primarily to address the energy problem. The main contribution of this study, in addition to conserving energy through recovery technique, is reduction in the impact of global warming due to exhaust gas emission to the environment. The objective of the research is to recover exhaust gases energy from internal combustion engines for utilization. The experimental set-up consisted of a single cylinder, four-stroke, multi-fuel engine connected to eddy current dynamometer for loading. Thermocouple temperature sensors and transmitters were used to measure exhaust gas to calorimeter inlet temperature and exhaust gas from calorimeter outlet temperature. Exhaust gas mass flow rate and temperature measurements were used to determine the recovered energy. Recovered heat energy was 1.257% of fuel energy when the engine was operated on diesel at 1000 rpm and a torque load of 18 Nm. 3.153% of fuel energy was recovered at 1500 rpm and a torque load of 6 Nm when biodiesel was used. At a speed of 1000 rpm 22.6% and 23.004% of the thermal energy through exhaust was recovered when the engine used diesel and biodiesel at torque loads of 6 Nm and 14 Nm respectively.
