Published version of an article from the journal: Journal of Electronic Materials. he original publication is available at Springerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11664-010-1189-1 The useful waste heat potential for a bulk carrier has been evaluated as a preliminary step towards developing a thermoelectric generator (TEG) waste heat recovery system for ships. A medium-sized bulk carrier produces 6.2 MW of waste heat, and the most promising usable sources for the TEG are shown herein to be the exhausts from the main engine and the sludge oil incinerator.
