Optimal fin planting of a side-inlet-side-outlet heat sink using a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm
Abstract:
This research is aimed at demonstration of the optimal geometrical design of side-inlet-side-outlet pin-fin heat sinks (SISOPFHS) using a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm. A multiobjective real-code Pareto envelope-based selection algorithm (MORPESA) is assigned to explore Pareto optimal solutions. Two objective functions are minimization of junction temperature and fan pumping power of a heat sink. Function evaluation can be achieved by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Design variables include pin cross-sectional area, number of fins, fin pitch, base thickness, inlet air velocity and fin heights. Design constraints are defined in such a way that the heat sink can practically be used and manufactured. The results show that MORPESA is a powerful tool for the optimal design of such a heat sink.
