Optimal Design of Heat Pipe Based on the Multi-object Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

Heat pipes have been used widely in many engineering fields due to their higher rate of heat transfer.However,the design of heat pipes often involves selection of multiple parameters and the conventional design algorithms are not efficient in optimizing these parameters simultaneously.In this paper,the thermal network model and heat transfer limit model of a typical heat pipe were built.Based on them,the optimal problem of the heat pipe is defined mathematically.Then a multi-object optimization algorithm ba..
