The waste heat from exhaust gases represents a significant amount of thermal energy, which has conventionally been used for\ncombined heating and power applications. This paper explores the performance of a naturally aspirated spark ignition engine\nequipped with waste heat recovery mechanism (WHRM) in a sedan car.The amount of heat energy from exhaust is presented and\nthe experimental test results suggest that the concept is thermodynamically feasible and could significantly enhance the system\nperformance depending on the load applied to the engine. However, the existence of WHRM affects the performance of engine by\nslightly reducing the power. The simulation method is created using an artificial neural network (ANN) which predicts the power\nproduced from the WHRM.
