Design Optimization and Performance Prediction of Compact Heat Exchangers

Wang, Q. ; Xie, G. and Sundén, Bengt LU (2014) p.301-319
Abstract
Applications of genetic algorithms (GAs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) in thermal engineering have received much attention. Compact heat exchangers (CHEs) have special merits of high-performance and compactness and are widely used in various applications of energy and power engineering. This chapter demonstrates optimization design of a plate-fin heat changer and performance prediction of three kinds of tube-fin heat exchangers by a GA and an ANN, respectively. The successful applications of optimization and prediction of CHEs suggest that GAs and ANNs have strong ability of intelligent design and prediction of CHEs.
