The exhaust gases from the IC Engine caries away about 30% of heat of combustion. The energy available in the exit stream goes as waste, if not utilized properly. The major technical constraint that prevents implementation of ways to heat recovery system is due to its intermittent and time mismatched demand and availability of energy. In the present work, a storage container is integrated with IC engine setup to extract heat from the exhaust gases using a copper plate being heated by forced convection. The performance parameters pertaining to the heat recovery such as amount of heat covered, temperature achieved at every RPM, velocity of exhaust gases and flow curves will be evaluated, analyzed and reported. The feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of the project have also been discussed
