Optimization of Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Flat Plate Based on Pareto Genetic Algorithm

A quad inserted into a turbulent boundary layer of a flat plate and its effect on average heat transfer and the friction coefficient is studied. To optimize this effect, the edge sizes and distance of the quad from the flat plate are continually modified. In each case, simultaneously the heat transfer enhancement and reduction in skin friction are analyzed. For optimization, the genetic algorit...

Study on the Optimum Design Method of Heat Source Systems with Heat Storage Using a Genetic Algorithm

Recently, a heat source system utilizing a heat storage tank for energy savings in buildings was designed. A heat storage tank is an effective system for solving the qualitative and quantitative differences in the required building energy. On the other hand, the existing design process of a heat storage system is difficult to determine if the air-conditioning time is unclear, and the design in ...

Modeling heat transfer of non-Newtonian nanofluids using hybrid ANN-Metaheuristic optimization algorithm

An optimal artificial neural network (ANN) has been developed to predict the Nusselt number of non-Newtonian nanofluids. The resulting ANN is a multi-layer perceptron with two hidden layers consisting of six and nine neurons, respectively. The tangent sigmoid transfer function is the best for both hidden layers and the linear transfer function is the best transfer function for the output layer....

MHD boundary layer heat and mass transfer of a chemically reacting Casson fluid over a permeable stretching surface with non-uniform heat source/‎sink

The heat and mass transfer analysis for MHD Casson fluid boundary layer flow over a permeable stretching sheet through a porous medium is carried out. The effect of non-uniform heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction are considered in heat and mass transport equations correspondingly. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two different heating processes namely; the prescr...
