A genetic algorithm for fin profile optimization.

Author(s) : FABBRI G.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The heat flux dissipated by a generic profile fin is compared with the heat flux removed by the rectangular profile fin with the same length and volume. The genetic algorithm is then applied to the case of polynomial profile fins, in order to determine the polynomial parameter values which optimize the fin effectiveness. The optimum profile is finally shown for different polynomial orders.
