Abstract:

This research paper introduces a novel cost-effective design for a Diesel Exhaust Waste Heat Recovery System (WHRS) tailored for both Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) in Jaipur and stationary applications. The proposed design aims to fulfill the essential design constraints for WHRS while ensuring robustness and adherence to Indian Pollution Control Standards. The study employs numerical simulations and optimization techniques using CFD software, specifically Ansys FLUENT and Ansys Workbench, with a parametric study approach. The optimization process considers various waste heat recovery system geometries, ensuring compliance with both performance requirements and geometrical constraints. The presented design offers a promising solution for efficiently harnessing waste heat in diesel exhaust, contributing to sustainable and energy-efficient transportation and stationary systems.
