Engine Performance Test Analysis

The document reports on engine performance test results both without and with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) installed. Key findings include: 1) Without the TEG, the engine achieved a maximum power of 2.9 kW at 12 kg load. Exhaust temperatures reached up to 169°C. 2) With the TEG, the engine achieved slightly higher maximum power of 2.9 kW at 12 kg load. Exhaust temperatures were lower at 154-168°C due to heat extraction by the TEG. 3) Electrical efficiency was highest at 13.7% without TEG and 53.7% with TEG, showing the TEG's ability to capture additional waste heat for
