    They can to a limiting degree, such as for spooling turbos. What did you have in mind?

    they are used for turbo charging.

    if you want any another application apart from that in automobiles , then i think they can be used for heating.

    can it be used to a operate a heater in winter season

    Heater? Where? Yes, to certain extent, it can be used to aid heating applications in an automobile.

    Here is what you can do with exaust gases.

    1. Run a turbo.
    2. As an heat exchanger.

    Meanwhile have you heard about Exhust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system?

    Oh yeah, EGR. A fancy name for sticking the exhaust pipe in the intake manifold. Of course, the ratta-bots in the IC Engine class went nuts running all its "advantages" in the quiz.... "oh, it causes cooling of the burning process, resulting in lesser nox bla bla bla".... this has to be one of the stupidest ideas anybody's ever had. Probably some engineer looking for a practical joke. Let's pipe dirty, particulate-ridden smoky exhaust into the cylinder, frustrating all the efforts of the turbochargers and the superchargers and the double valves to pump in extra, clean air so burning can be better. Just because someone with an impressive name said we should.

    EGR is a bad idea.

    what is turbo charging and how it can be used for turbo charging

    The exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold is used to power a turbine, which in turn powers a compressor. this compressor compresses the inlet air , which allows a greater mass of intake air entering the cylinders, thus increasing efficiency and enabling the cylinders to deliver more power. this is turbocharging.

    The same thing goes for supercharging, with the exception, that the compressor is driven by the engine crankshaft.

    But could you use the turbine to power pretty much any thing you like? Like charge a battery for example?

    the battery is already charged by the alternator, which in turn is driven by the crankshaft.

    A short 15 years after Orville and Wilbur made their historic flight at Kitty Hawk,General Electric entered the annals of aviation history. In 1918, GE strapped an exhaust-driven turbocharger to a Liberty engine and carted it to the top of Pike’sPeak,CO — elevation 14,000 feet. There, in the crystalline air of the majestic Rockies, they successfully boosted this 350 hp Liberty engine to aremarkable 356 hp (a normally aspirated engine would only develop about 62 percent power at
    this altitude).An astounding altitude record of 38,704 feet was achieved three years later by Lt. J.A.Macready.This new technology began immediately experiencing a rapid evolution with the full strength of blowers being tested duringWWII. The B-17 and B-29 bombers along with the P-38 and P-51 fighters were all fitted with turbochargers and controls.
    Turbocharging had brought a whirlwind of change to the ever-broadening horizons of flight.Much of the early developments in recip turbocharging came as a result of demands from the commercial industrial diesel engine
    market. It wasn’t until the mid-1950s that this technology was seriously applied to general aviation aircraft engines. It all started with the prototype testing of an AiResearch turbocharger for the Model 47 Bell helicopter equipped with the
    Franklin 6VS-335 engine. Their objective was not to increase power, but rather to maintain sea level horsepower at altitude. They succeeded. In the process, a new altitude record for helicopters of 29,000 feet was achieved.
