Evolutionary algorithms and the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations as applied to a multiobjective design of shell-and-tube heat exchangers

The results of the present work are directed at solving the shell-and-tube heat exchanger design optimization problem on the basis of a multiobjective approach by applying Evolutionary Algorithms. The considered objective functions are associated with equipment's heat transfer area and pumping...
