Effect of flow maldistribution on the optimal design of plate heat exchanger using constrained multi objective genetic algorithm

In this study, thermal and hydraulic optimization of plate heat exchanger is presented. In the thermal modeling of the plate heat exchanger, the effects of flow maldistribution for each side are also considered. A multi objective optimization is implemented based on the NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sortin...
