A Framework for Multi-Objective Optimization of Plate-Fin Heat Exchangers Using a Detailed Three-Dimensional Simulation Model

The design of a multi-stream plate-fin heat exchanger is a highly integrated task with multiple opposing objectives and many degrees of freedom. This work shows how it can be fully or partially automated by the combination of a detailed three-dimensional simulation model and an optimization routine....
