Metaheuristic Techniques in Enhancing the Efficiency and Performance of Thermo-Electric Cooling Devices

The objective of this paper is to focus on the technical issues of single-stage thermo-electric coolers (TECs) and two-stage TECs and then apply new methods in optimizing the dimensions of TECs. In detail, some metaheuristics—simulated annealing (SA) and differential evolution (DE)—are applied to se...
