Abstract : The paper highlights a technique of waste energy harvesting by production of electricity by the usage of
pyroelectric materials from jet engine exhaust & to be used as an Auxiliary Power Unit for the aircraft. The paper covers the
basic phenomenon of Pyroelectric Effect and utilizes various parameters to determine the efficiency of smart material crystal
of PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) at the exhaust temperature of a jet engine. . The proposed setup will include pyroelectric
material strips of given dimensions arranged one after another along the entire surface of the wing in series and parallel
combination to obtain maximum power output. A duct from the turbine will carry the exhaust gas at a temperature to the
master valve; another duct will be carrying the free stream incoming ram air. The rate of flow will be regulated by flow
control valve present at both the duct lines before connecting to the master valve. The establishment of a temperature
gradient with respect to time will result in voltage generation across the electrical circuit. The electricity generated will be
stored in batteries for future use as an Auxiliary Power Unit.
