| Abstract: | The optimization of the plate heat exchanger with staggered pin arrays for a fixed volume is performed numerically. The flow and thermal fields are assumed to be periodic fully developed flow and heat transfer with constant wall temperature and they are solved using the finite-volume method. The optimization is carried out by using the sequential linear programming (SLP) method, and the weighting method is adopted for solving the multiobjective problem. The results show that the optimal design variables for the weighting coefficient of 0.5 are as follows: S = 6.497 mm, P = 5.496 mm, D 1 = 0.689 mm, and D 2 = 2.396 mm. The Pareto optimal solutions are presented also. |
